Education

Swansea University Aerospace Engineer, Engineering, 2:1 Hons 2015 – 2019 Activities and Societies: Save The Planet Engineering Challenge White Water Kayaking Canoe Polo Boardriders Ski and Snowboard Society During my time at Swansea University, I was a big part of the Canoe Club; a safety team member on white water and a member of the A-team for Canoe Polo. I lead a number of training sessions using props I had designed and manufactured myself.

My dissertation looked into the feasibility of 3D printed components on UAVs and Drones. For which I carried out a number of material testing research activities and assessed the optimal parameters for strength and stiffness of 3D printed parts.

I was the Chief Engineer for our 3rd year design team and in charge of control systems and the prototype scale model of our high endurance UAV. We were one of 6 teams who's UAV flew successfully out of the 18 teams in our year.

Other experience

Project Management I have a diploma in Agile Project Management which helps me manage multiple projects at once resulting in 100% on time, in full delivery. It also enables me to accurately quote projects and give realistic costs and timescales.
art and design I am proficient with physical materials (such as ink and paint) as well as digital materials and can produce high quality concept art and finished products. I believe that CAD is an extremely powerful tool which, when coupled with complementary skills, can achieve anything.
