      In all honesty I didn’t know what an engineer was at school! However, I did want to make lots of cool things and travel the world so I can definitely say I have achieved those dreams. At University I made one of the very first self-stabilising quadcopters and loads of other fun stuff since. In terms of travel I’ve been all over th eworld apart from Australia & the Far East (plenty of time left to get there though) so I certainly have no regrets about my choice of career!

      Not really. I didn’t even know that the job existed. I would never have dreamed to own my own company but now that I do, it is pretty cool! I am really excited to see what happens 10 years from now 🙂

      Well initially I wanted to be a Policeman to be honest and then a pro traveller (whatever that is) and then I finally decided on Science but I probably didn’t choose engineering specifically until early secondary school. My dad was a petroleum engineer and I wanted to be like him but I doubt I really knew what engineering was until early secondary school.
      My dream was just to be successful which I feel I’m on track for but not quite there yet.
