Built a digital BOM/ECN version control system from scratch. Eliminated assembly errors from documentation mismatches across multi-country manufacturing.
Scaled robot output from 30 units (2024) to 70 units (2025) by redesigning the assembly workflow, introducing structured SOPs, and implementing standardised manufacturing templates — without adding headcount.
Managed a 15-printer in-house additive manufacturing operation, systematically optimising print profiles, bed utilisation, and job scheduling to minimise idle time and maximise throughput across the rapid prototyping cycle.
A fleet-wide crisis across 15 countries. Multiple failure vectors. One engineer owning the full response.

After deploying autonomous robots globally, a pattern of structural and electromechanical failures emerged across different markets. No two failures were identical — different symptoms, hardware generations, environments. Root cause was non-trivial. Client trust was at risk.
Investigation revealed that mounting underwater pressure at depths beyond 8m was causing continuous mechanical deformation of the enclosure top cover — a failure mode absent in bench testing. The deflection was sufficient to compromise the seal and bring the cover into contact with internal electronics, causing progressive damage. The issue was systematic across the deployed fleet, not isolated to individual units.
Deployed an immediate structural remedy across all active units: custom 3D-printed standoffs installed inside the enclosures to mechanically resist cover deflection under pressure, buying time without requiring product recall. In parallel, initiated a full redesign of the aluminium enclosure — introducing an internal partitioning plate to distribute hydrostatic load and eliminate the deformation failure mode entirely in future production units.
Production units incorporating the redesigned aluminium enclosure with the internal partitioning plate were deployed to active client sites in Greece and Singapore. Field performance of the remodelled units is being actively monitored against the previous baseline, with no recurrence of pressure-induced deformation reported to date.
I work best when engineering decisions have direct consequences in the field — not in a demo environment.
I thrive when trusted to shape how things are built — from design through to deployment and iteration.
My best work has been building frameworks for systems being deployed globally for the first time.
I'm actively exploring senior roles in robotics and operations — where I can own the full lifecycle from design to deployment. If there's a fit, I'd welcome a conversation.
