What I'm looking for

I seek a technical leadership role in aerospace propulsion or test engineering where I can design and commission test facilities, lead experimental teams, and deliver standards-compliant, safety-focused solutions while advancing my skills in diagnostics and systems integration.

I am an Aerospace Systems Engineer with over eight years of hands-on experience leading cross-disciplinary teams in propulsion systems, fuel systems design, and optical diagnostic testing. I have led the design, installation and commissioning of complex test facilities including a fuel atomizer testing facility using Phase Doppler Optical diagnostics.

My work spans experimental characterization of injectors, flow testing and mechanical refurbishment of industrial gas turbine fuel nozzles, and design and qualification of fuel supply systems. I have practical experience with LabVIEW, CFD, phase Doppler anemometry, and standards including ISO-9001, DO-160G and various ARP certifications.

I drive projects from conception through commissioning with attention to safety (ATEX implementation), operational excellence, and standards-compliant design. I balance technical leadership with project contract support, HAZOP participation, and hands-on experimental execution to deliver reliable propulsion test capability.
