About me

Engineering Director, builder and problem solver

Engineering Director with over 11 years designing and delivering precision machinery for semiconductor manufacturing. I work end-to-end — from concept and system design through commissioning and handover — with deep expertise in control systems, embedded software, and lean manufacturing.

Alongside engineering, I lead teams and run design offices. I have managed multi-phase projects across complex environments, developed engineers at all levels, and built systems that perform reliably in some of the most demanding production conditions in the industry.
