Background

Mechanical Engineer with experience in advanced composite manufacturing and automotive production environments. My background includes introducing new products into full-scale manufacturing, developing and validating automated production processes, and supporting factory capacity expansion. At Carbon Revolution, I worked across multiple manufacturing processes including CNC machining, robotics, composite layup processes, and automated inspection systems while supporting OEM automotive programs. My work included tooling design, robot program validation, root cause analysis, PFMEA development, and production process optimization. I recently relocated from Australia to Canada to broaden both my professional and personal experience and am currently based in Hamilton, Ontario. I am legally authorized to work in Canada and interested in opportunities within advanced manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and high-performance engineering industries.
