Results
I’ve led cross-functional engineering, product development and supply chain programmes, managing teams of up to twelve engineers. My work combines design for manufacturing, automation and AI-supported engineering workflows to get products built faster and with less rework. I’m interested in engineering programme management and product leadership, particularly in aerospace.

Consulting
Alongside the MBA, I take on selected engineering projects where nine years of hardware development makes the biggest difference: getting a product from first prototype to supplier-led production, faster and with less rework.
Hardware product development
Founders and small hardware teams moving from an idea to a working prototype.
The problem
Requirements, mechanical design, electronics and prototyping aren’t coordinated.
What’s included
Requirements review, a development plan, mechanical CAD and design for manufacturing, and coordination of electronics, firmware and prototype work within an agreed scope.
How it works
A scoping call, then a milestone-based project.
Manufacturing-process and DFM review
Teams with a design that needs a practical way to be made.
The problem
The part is hard to manufacture, or the choice between additive manufacturing, CNC machining and moulding is still open.
What’s included
CAD review, design-for-manufacturing and design-for-additive recommendations, and the trade-offs between processes.
How it works
A focused design review, written recommendations or a team workshop.
Supplier and production readiness
Teams moving from prototypes to supplier-led production.
The problem
Incomplete hand-overs, unclear supplier requirements and late design changes create rework.
What’s included
DFM review, supplier evaluation criteria, quotation review, engineering documentation and coordination of agreed validation.
How it works
A project, or advisory support at set development milestones.
Engineering programme management
Engineering leaders running distributed teams and several suppliers.
The problem
Unclear ownership, weak reporting and uncoordinated workstreams slow delivery down.
What’s included
Scope and milestone planning, responsibility mapping, risk tracking, KPI dashboards and a reporting rhythm.
How it works
Advisory calls, a planning workshop or scoped programme support.
