As a passionate individual, I thrive in an environment that enables and values continual learning. Highly motivated by a sense of achievement; I seek challenges through engineering science, personal growth, and training for sport. Engineering provides a context within which I can further develop my understanding of the physical and digital worlds, approach complex problems with my practical mindset, and work as part of a team. I have experience in all research and design stages, ranging from large-scale projects to the nuances of data and physics-driven algorithms and mathematical modelling.
