Engineer trained across the full breadth of the discipline — manufacturing lines, process optimisation, structural design, and instrumentation. I like taking messy real-world systems apart and engineering them back together, better.

// why the cassowary? — Despite looking like a dinosaur that missed the extinction memo, the cassowary is a brilliant piece of natural engineering: powerful legs built to absorb large dynamic forces while keeping the bird stable and efficient — the same trade-offs engineers face designing machines, structures, and robots. Sometimes the best engineering ideas come from problems nature has already solved. Adopted as my mascot during an exchange year in Australia (helped along by one very good Australian Wildlife module).
