ABOUT ME

I'm someone who truely enjoys what I do, approaching my work with a strong ethic and a practical, logical mindset. I'm organised and take pride in my work, always seeking ways to improve and grow as an engineer. My hands-on approach to problem solving is one of my key strengths, and my experience working on yachts has set high standards for what I expect in a professional environment. Safety and efficiency are my top prioritys, amd I'm eager to join a team that shares these values.

Outside of work, I'm passionate about adventure and maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle. I love gravel cycling, bike-packing trips, hiking, paddleboarding, and even kite surfing (though I'm still learning!). Currently, I am planning an exciting motorcycle trip through Europe for 2024. I am also a car enthusiast who enjoys socialising and trying out new activities. I'm looking forward to bringing my dedication and enthusiasm to a dynamic and experienced team.
