About
I am a Petroleum and Mechanical Engineer with strong experience in CAD design, downhole tool development, and subsea equipment engineering. My work spans designing frac plugs, bridge plugs, packers, flow control devices, safety valves, hydraulic systems, ROV intervention tools, and advanced completion equipment. I also design and optimise ROV systems, delivering efficient and reliable subsea operational solutions.
I am skilled in Petrel, IP, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Python, Orcaflex, Aspen HYSYS, TNavigator and ECLIPSE. My strengths include problem solving, rapid technical learning, system optimisation, and producing accurate models and simulations that support engineering decisions.
I have supported well abandonment planning through petrophysical interpretation, pore pressure modelling, cement bond log evaluation and geomechanical assessments. I also deliver technical training in mechanical design, software tools and offshore safety standards.
I hold a Master of Engineering in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Aberdeen. My work reflects precision, discipline and a strong commitment to efficient engineering solutions across subsurface, mechanical and subsea applications

My Master of Engineering in Petroleum Engineering combined subsurface engineering with strong mechanical and CAD-focused training. The programme covered drilling engineering, well construction, completion design, flow assurance, reservoir modelling, geomechanics, thermodynamics and production optimisation. I gained hands-on experience analysing well integrity, modelling multiphase flow, evaluating subsurface risks and designing safe drilling, intervention and abandonment programmes.
The degree also incorporated extensive technical design and simulation work using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, MATLAB, Python, Petrel, Interactive Petrophysics, Aspen HYSYS, TNavigator, ECLIPSE and Orcaflex. This strengthened my ability to build parametric models, run engineering simulations, interpret large datasets and support decision-making with accurate technical outputs.
My thesis focused on optimising a brownfield development through flow assurance and multiphase production engineering, requiring integrated use of CAD tools, reservoir simulators and production models. The programme has given me a strong foundation in advanced engineering design, subsurface analysis and data-driven problem solving.
