What I'm looking for

I seek design-lead roles in building services where I can lead teams, deliver complex LV and life‑safety solutions, drive BIM workflows and progress sustainable, high-quality projects.

I am a Principal Electrical Engineer with almost nine years of experience designing electrical building services for commercial, residential and hospitality developments. I specialize in low-voltage distribution, LV substations, lighting (normal and emergency), lighting controls and fire detection & alarm systems.

I lead multidisciplinary design teams, preparing reports, specifications, calculations, single line diagrams and construction documentation while coordinating across disciplines and stakeholders to deliver code-compliant, buildable solutions. I have delivered concept-to-detailed design for large mixed-use, retail, resort and utility projects and managed BIM production for complex developments.

I am results-driven and pragmatic, focused on practical optioneering, risk mitigation and efficient space planning. My work has been recognized by industry awards and publications, and I enjoy mentoring engineers and driving continual improvement in design delivery and digital workflows.
