I am a driven and dedicated final year MEng Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Glasgow and former member of the UGRacing Formula Student team operated by IMechE, contributing to the design and build of a single seat racing car.
I previously spent four months in Esslingen am Neckar, Germany, where I completed my final year project based on the simulation and optimisation of a hybrid vehicle.
In addition to my academic attainments I was most recently employed by Brodie Engineering as a Mechanical Engineer where I was responsible for contributing to large railway industry projects including design, report writing and client liaison duties. Within this role, and my other employment experience, I have honed and utilised my team working, time management and organisational skills to add value and facilitate project success.
