Background

I am a dedicated and innovative mechanical engineer doing a MSc by Research in Transport Systems at Cranfield University. I have previously complete MSc in Automotive Engineering at Cranfield University. I thrive on solving complex design challenges and turning concepts into reality. My expertise spans structural design, composite materials, and advanced simulation tools, including ANSYS Workbench, HyperMesh, and LS-DYNA, which I’ve utilised across diverse projects in the automotive and mechanical domains.

Highlights of my journey include collaborating with McLaren Automotive on my master’s thesis, where I analysed the pull-out strength of non-metallic inserts, and presenting a structural subframe design to McLaren engineers during a rigorous vehicle structures module. My leadership roles as Vice Captain of a national-level go-karting team and President of the Mechanical Engineering Students Association have further developed my skills in project management, cross-functional collaboration, and effective communication.

Beyond my technical skills, I’m passionate about adapting to new technologies, embracing challenges, and contributing to cutting-edge engineering solutions. My experiences have equipped me with a strong foundation in manufacturing processes, including fabrication, welding, and assembly, and the ability to seamlessly transition designs from concept to production
