About
I am an accomplished design engineer with experience in research, design and development of mechanics and mechanical systems, safety, ergonomics and human factors, design cost and efficiency, with strong analytical problem-solving skills. I thrive in a team environment and enjoy creating innovative design solutions.
My current company covers my work under a few rather strict NDA's. I asked for permission to use some photos and descriptions of my work from my current company, however, I was denied. The projects that are on this portfolio are from my time at University and projects I have worked on in my spare time. This is rather disappointing to me, as my best work is unable to be shown, and I have little free time to update this with spare time projects at the moment. I keep it around in the hopes one day I will be able to showcase my projects. -
