Meet me; a well versed electrical engineer with good general engineering knowledge useful for the budding engineer. I enjoy breaking down complex problems to present simple solutions. I use this especially as a family dad with my little girls, as I aim to explain in fun and innovative ways. My continued passion and drive, for learning and understanding, has encouraged me to travel, operate in multi- cultural environments, and meet people. I have been a volunteer, leader of volunteers, and speaker for different charities including the Institution of Engineering and Technology. I also enjoy team sports, but since becoming a dad I stay keen on general fitness and health.

In my career to date, I have provided my skills as an engineer to various establishments. I have been involved in electrical power, renewable energy, oil and gas, and more recently in data centres. Data centres can be described similarly to our computer and hard drive storages. We keep information on them and we want to keep them safe. For big computer storage drives, these need power, and even more so significantly more for data centres. I am part of a team that designs these big storage data centres and ensures that electricity and cooling is suitably supplied and maintained for their operation.
