What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an engineering, manufacturing, or technical operations role where I can apply systems thinking and analytical problem-solving to improve quality, streamline workflows, and use data analytics to drive continuous improvement and scalable delivery.

I’m an aircraft engineering graduate who applies systems thinking to drive operational efficiency, quality improvements, and measurable workflow gains. I translate complex technical requirements into actionable deliverables across engineering, operations, and product development—bringing rigorous quality control, risk assessment, and documentation discipline to every stage.

Most recently, I’m building scalable technology solutions as a startup founder, leading requirements definition (BRD), technology stack decisions, KPI tracking, and data-informed iteration for a SaaS platform targeting 500+ users. Previously, I reduced claims processing time by 15% at AXA UK through workflow optimization, and I consistently exceeded operational targets at Amazon by maintaining 99.5%+ accuracy while troubleshooting warehouse systems disruptions.
