About

Trusted Engineering Advisor | Simulation, PDM & Industry 4.0 | Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert I’m a first-class honours engineer working with leading NZ manufacturers to solve real-world problems using the right tools—whether that’s SOLIDWORKS, simulation, PDM, or AI-driven automation. With deep expertise in design, simulation, and systems integration, I’ve helped teams across aerospace, defence, medtech and general engineering improve productivity, reduce risk, and make better decisions using data. I was the first in ANZ to earn the SOLIDWORKS Nonlinear and Dynamics Simulation Certifications, and was recognised as the top Business Consultant for ANZ in 2019. I now focus on practical implementation of Industry 4.0, digital twins, and AI across manufacturing—making sure the tech fits the business, not the other way around. If you're exploring tools like SOLIDWORKS, 3DEXPERIENCE, or AI in engineering, feel free to reach out—always keen to talk.
