Mechanical Engineer.
Building and improving products.

Continuous Improvement Operations Consultant

Workshops

Ran week-long Value Stream Analysis workshops for pharmaceutical and industrial services clients, mapping the current and future state and building improvement roadmaps. Delivered a two-hour commercial optimisation session to a client's commercial team.

KPI rollout

Rolled out daily KPI meetings to 15–20 teams at a London repairs and maintenance company: trained team leaders, audited meetings and tracked adoption in Power BI dashboards.

IT review

Reviewed ~250 IT systems (~£500k a year) at an independent school, building a costed register with named owners and a recurring review process. Also redesigned the student-expenses process.

AI tools

Built four AI tools in Python: a chatbot that answers questions from internal documents, a tool that turns photos of workshop post-it walls into PowerPoint slides, a job-description standardiser, and a parent-information chatbot built in about an hour.

Durability testing

Led a brake pedal durability test: PLC-controlled pneumatic cylinders cycling the pedal through its life profile in a climatic chamber. Diagnosed and fixed a fault where the actuator lost contact with the pedal at very low temperatures. Worked on four key life tests in total.

Vibration testing

Worked on 19 vibration tests (random, sine dwell, shock and bump) and was lead engineer on three: sourcing fixtures, coordinating rig builds with technicians, setting up resonance sweeps and writing the reports.

Automated driving

Tested and demonstrated a brake-to-steer prototype vehicle, and wrote MATLAB analysis comparing GPS and input data against lane markings to measure lane drift and turning radius.

Steer-by-wire

Wrote MATLAB tooling to split full-vehicle simulator data so injected faults could be assessed for controllability. The results informed the next stage of development.

Electric drive unit

Supported a supplier investigation into a differential failure using 8D root-cause analysis.

Test forecasting

Built an automated pipeline (Python, Jira API, BigQuery, Tableau) that tracked 1,500+ tests and forecast the department's workload and running costs. Used across the wider engineering team and taken up by senior management.
