I build requirements, interfaces, and verification frameworks for complex defence systems.

United Kingdom
Message

I'm currently supporting Leidos' National Airspace System Replacement, owning functional and interface requirements and using Cameo Modeler to develop behavioural, activity, and structural models.

Across Ultra Maritime UK, Atlas Elektronik UK, and Lockheed Martin, I've worked on ship, submarine, and airborne radar systems, producing interface documentation, managing requirements in DOORS, and resolving non-compliances. I led work packages across three projects at Atlas Elektronik and presented to senior leadership.

My earlier systems and test engineering work at Rolls-Royce, Cobham, and UTC covered aircraft engines, refuelling systems, and wing performance. I've defined test requirements, diagnosed failures, supported verification, and developed technical documentation for complex aerospace products.
