Who Am I
I'm an engineer who has learnt to transform ambitious ideas into real, test-driven hardware. My work has spanned rovers, rockets, drones, med-tech and particle accelerator engineering. I've taken projects from early requirements through to feasibility analysis, design, CAD, simulation/modelling, manufacture, and validation — with a focus on reliability, clear engineering thinking, and flair where possible.
For two years at university, my mother battled cancer — and alongside my degree I helped my family through that reality while still pushing forward academically and technically. That experience strengthened how I lead and how I work: with consistency, empathy, and a calm head under pressure.
At my core, I'm motivated by my responsibility to build things that change the world, to communicate ideas clearly, and to use engineering as a practical tool for societal good — whilst continuously growing as an engineer myself.
Engineering Projects
CERN — Mechanical Manipulator for Beam Wire Scanners Jun–Aug 2025
CERN INTERNSHIP · CATIA · ANSYS FEA · PROTOTYPE MANUFACTURE
Designed a purely mechanical 2m tall, 6 Degrees of Freedom manipulator for installing new-generation linear beam wire scanners into the Large Hadron Collider — which could not be installed due to space constraints. Created CAD in CATIA, validated stresses via hand calcs and ANSYS FEA, manufactured a fully functioning 1:1 prototype, and developed a Python script that digitised operation and performed automatic centre of mass calculations. Machine installed in LHC Q4 2025.

CERN — Modular Analysis Rig for ELISA Nov 2025–Present
PARTICLE ACCELERATOR · ELECTRONIC ARCHITECTURE · SOFTWARE · MANUFACTURE
Designed a micrometre-resolution modular test-analysis rig for CERN's ELISA portable particle accelerator — enabling it to be used worldwide for research and demonstrations. Covered full engineering lifecycle: electronic architecture, mechanical design, software development, manufacture, and physical testing. Now installed into ELISA and deployed for the next 3 years.
B2Space — World-First Sustainable Rocket Fuel Oct 2024–Mar 2025
WORLD RECORD · CATIA · SPIN-CASTING · CFRP LAYUPS · HOT-FIRE TESTING
Led development of world-first sustainable rocket fuel with B2Space. Designed and manufactured a new spin-casting rig (CATIA), cast 8 fuel grains (PLA-armoured rapeseed & beeswax blends), and ensured 8 successful biofuel burns at Snowdonia Aerospace hot-fire test using the hybrid-aerospike engine 'Hornet'. Rapeseed wax had never previously been fired as a rocket fuel — a genuine world first.

Marble Aero — Humanitarian UAVs Ongoing
UAV · AUTONOMOUS HANGARS · ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING · AVIONICS · NDA
Cover-all engineer for a start-up designing UAVs for humanitarian missions — including anti-drug-trafficking in Costa Rica, ice-cap mapping in Greenland & Canada, and maritime monitoring in Uruguay. Involved in mechanical design, manufacturing (MK14 drones via additive manufacturing), avionics, and flying. Complete design, electronics, manufacture, and deployment of autonomous drone hangars (NDA restricted).

Bath Rocket Team — "Condor" at EuRoC 2024 Sep 2023–Jul 2025
PROJECT LEAD · FEA · CFD · ANSYS FLUENT · AIRBRAKES · PAYLOAD
Project Lead for BRT — reverse-engineered rocket systems, conducted FEA & CFD in ANSYS on airbrakes to minimise drag, prepared engine 'YellowJacket' for hot-fire test, designed and manufactured cloud-seeding payload, and developed the ground station. Competed at EuRoC 2024 in Portugal.

Team Bath Roving — National Champions Nov 2022–Jul 2024
PROJECT LEAD · NATIONAL WINNER · 6 ROVER DESIGNS · ROBOTIC ARM · ANSYS
Elected youngest-ever project lead. Designed and manufactured ~6 Mars/lunar rovers, including scissor-jack lifts and 5 DoF robotic arms. Won the 2024 AIRBUS National Olympus Rover Challenge on a £300 budget against teams with 10× more funding. Grew team from 4 to 36 members for international competitions.

ZMPT Health — Portable Workout Device NDA Restricted
MED-TECH · MECHANICAL DESIGN · CONSULTANCY · ARAXIA
Contracted via my design engineering consultancy 'Araxia' to create a portable workout device for older/diabetic individuals — purely mechanical, enabling push/pull workouts up to 25 kg simulated weight within a 50×25×25 cm package. Closed public market trials conducted.
MEng Thesis — CERN ELISA Modular Analysis Rig Nov 2025–Present
MASTERS THESIS
CERN · PARTICLE PHYSICS · PIXE · ELECTRONIC ARCHITECTURE · MANUFACTURE
My MEng thesis, conducted at CERN, involved designing a micrometre-resolution modular analysis rig for ELISA — CERN's Experimental Linear Accelerator for Surface Analysis — a portable particle accelerator. The rig was used to characterise BTV (Beam TV) screens using Proton-Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) to quantify elemental impurities, providing critical data for the design of future high-energy particle accelerators and beam diagnostics systems.
The project spanned the full engineering lifecycle independently: electronic architecture and control system design, mechanical design and CAD, software development for automated data acquisition, manufacture, calibration, and a detailed test campaign. The rig is now permanently installed into ELISA and will be used across testing, research, and demonstrations for the next 3 years — a genuinely lasting contribution to CERN's instrumentation infrastructure.
