About

I’m a hands-on engineer who loves building tools that make complex systems simple to run. Most recently I’ve been standardising multi-supplier ECU data and automating calibration steps across engine test cells. Before that I worked across EV/Hydrogen truck design and whole-vehicle validation. I started out in McLaren Powertrain Operations on engine dyno programmes covering durability, vibration, calibration and certification.
