About

I've started on the Aurora grad scheme as an energy analyst in Oxford. I've enjoyed internships in engineering firms working at the cutting edge of technology, from laser micro machining with OpTek to pioneering additive manufacturing with Alloyed. I've also worked on delivering huge projects, working a systems engineering position at BAE systems.
