Product Development in Norwich, UK

Developing products for humans in the physical, digital and data dimensions.

Users have always been at the core of any product's success and should be at the core of any engineer's design decision process. Products can no longer solely rely on great hardware to create impact, they also have to be powered by intelligent data usage and digital interfaces and architectures to provide lasting value. This ethos has driven me throughout my time in Product Development. For over a decade I have helped manage products' journey from idea to mass production, in the medical, health care, well being, consumer, automotive, OEM and industrial markets.

In my spare time I enjoy volleyball, snowboarding, golf, cycling and tinkering on extracurricular projects.
