Experience
From postdoctoral industry research to C-suite engineering leadership—advancing technology readiness from the lab into operating assets worldwide.
Responsible for engineering across the board—from the civil and structural work that goes into large-scale reactor builds through process design, mechanical and electrical systems, automation, and field commissioning.
Hands-on with novel sensor and instrumentation development, embedded and edge systems, and the software stack that ties the plants together—balancing R&D rigor with hardware that ships, commissions cleanly, and stays operable in harsh environments.
Work closely with vendors and internal teams to steer technical direction, de-risk scale-up, protect IP, and keep safety, reliability, and schedule aligned as we move from pilot projects to deployed capacity.
Responsible for the progression of technologies from nascent stages to advanced technology readiness levels (TRLs).
Collaborating with academic experts and industry leaders to develop innovations through prototyping and pilot scale—toward spin-offs or licensable assets.
Built, managed, and coordinated an international team from architectural and civil through MEP and control systems—deploying the RedSea technology stack globally, including some of the world’s most inhospitable environments.
Oversaw DWC and SWEC R&D and commercialization that supported ~$23M USD investment into the company. Systems are operating at commercial scale in harsh environments worldwide.
Set up and led a prototyping and deployment team with BMGF.
A successful $2M USD funding raise enabled upscaling and deployment of doctorate-derived IP in pilot construction projects.
Photoreactors purified polluted water with sunlight and minimal power—coordinated across countries with limited infrastructure. Deployments showcased in New Zealand, Zambia, and India; NZ site hybridized with sub-critical reactor (world first).
Rapid prototyping and materials company focused on 3D printing and functional engineering materials.
Developed novel printing materials plus applications from scuba fins and organ mimicry to inert ordnance for battlefield clearance (UXO).
Showcased at Arab Health; trials with Médecins Sans Frontières. UN-purchased de-mining / UXO equipment deployed across Africa and the Middle East.
Supported industrial projects and rapid production issue resolution across UK and international sites.
Developed coating additives and new analytical techniques for industrial coating testing and analysis.
