Academic Rigour.
Hands-On Experience.

I'm a Chartered Engineer with a background in mechanical engineering and a genuine passion for making things. My academic background runs from a BEng at Queen's University Belfast through to a Master's in Engineering Management at Ulster University. Alongside that, I've spent years working hands-on with CNC machinery, 3D scanning equipment and additive manufacture tools. That combination of theory and shop-floor reality is what I bring to every project.

Engineering is fundamentally about structured problem solving, and that skill transfers across every sector. I've worked with businesses ranging from product start-ups and manufacturers through to professional services, hospitality and retail. Whatever the industry, the same analytical approach applies: understand the problem clearly, identify the constraints, and find a practical route to a solution.

Over the years I've built a strong network spanning design, manufacturing, supply chain and logistics. As an approved Go Succeed business mentor, I also support businesses on the broader challenges of growth, strategy and market entry.
