My primary role at Element Engineering Australia is to work closely with clients to help them solve problems and create industry leading value within their businesses. My diverse engineering and hands on experience allows me to quickly understand client technical problems and provide industry leading solutions. I help clients scope changes to their business's products or services at a high level, by understanding and harnessing technologies available. Once a profitable and achievable high level scope of the business problem has been completed, if required, I pass on detailed engineering roles to EEA's very capable and diverse engineering team. I then often assume a project management role liaising closely with the client and the engineering team to ensure the goals are met within time and budget. I do still get my hands dirty within my specialty areas. Day to day, I also assume a leadership role, coordinating a growing team of professionals skilled in Mechanical, Mechatronic, Electronic and Software Engineering, along with supporting management staff.

At Cranio Innovations, we are building an embedded ecosystem that allows smart, capable individuals to create intelligent devices without needing to write code or design electronics. Whether improving operations on the ground or exploring new ideas in sensing and automation, our platform gives problem-solvers the tools to act quickly and effectively. We also support original equipment manufacturers seeking scalable, high-performance embedded systems. Our modular hardware, real-time firmware, and no-code configuration tools eliminate the traditional friction in embedded development, reducing time to market and improving reliability across the product lifecycle. Our technology is already enabling advanced applications such as: Real-time logistics and industrial telematics Safety-critical automation that removes people from high-risk environments Remote sensing solutions in challenging or inaccessible locations Connected consumer and prosumer devices with embedded control Edge systems that integrate AI with low-latency response Custom medical and defense products requiring robust embedded intelligence Cranio exists to accelerate the journey from concept to production, making embedded systems more accessible, adaptable, and powerful. If you are building something that needs to sense, think, and act with confidence in the real world, I would welcome the opportunity to connect. Sense Everything, Automate Anything!

Design and optimization of all aspects of the DT HiLoad body for various haul pac trucks. My duties at DT Hiload range from implementing the new Solidworks based CAD system, designing a fully scalable Solidworks model used to quickly produce new body designs tailored to a mines specific requirements, undertaking all engineering analysis for the Safety Up Devices as specified by ISO:13333-1994 and the design optimisation of various new products for heavy industry.

Honors thesis undertaken on the design optimisation of an Ultra Large Class Bias Ply Tyre for use on haul-pac trucks. Intensive use of Solidworks for modelling and ABAQUS non-linear FEA for design optimization. Successfully designed an optimized an ultra large class OTR tyre for COBA Tyre. UWA Motorsport Race Engineer from 2007-2009. During my time as race engineer, I was part of the World Championship winning FSAE team at the FISITA World Championships in Detroit.
