About

Specialties: -Startup lean methodology -Innovative design incorporating Additive, Subtractive, and Formative manufacturing, Simulation-based design. -AM metallic & polymer, Composites -DoE, Parametric & topology optimisation, static & dynamic analysis, buckling, creep, FEA, hand calc, process simulation -Metrology, Reverse engineering -CAD, CAE, CAM, Computer programming -Method development, Mathematical modelling, Research An engineer with a broad overview of design, analysis, and manufacturing aspects covering CAD/CAE/CAM, and PLM, as well as a thorough understanding of the requirements and gaps in the industry, especially in AM. He is proficient in exploiting design utilising different manufacturing methods including additive (AM), subtractive (FM), formative (FM), and combination of these. He believes in the concept of designing for application, not manufacturing. He also actively works with major software vendors to communicate the requirements arisen from industry applications to help driving enhancement in commercial software. In addition, with his knowledge of full product lifecycle, including material microstructure, inspection, testing, qualification and certification, he is able to help bring a product from inception to delivery. He is also proficient in new method development, providing novel and innovative solution to problems, helped by his extensive knowledge of methods available in various industries and academia. In more recent experience, he has worked in a startup incubation environment and has helped to propel an idea/concept, managing to obtain funding to further the development of the idea. He is a valuable addition to any organisation.

Sensai - empower success

Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer

Oct 2017 – Nov 2018 · 1 yr 1 mo · Monterrey Area, Mexico

  • I built a very capable engineering and technology team from scratch to support the company in
  • development of automation capability to allow SENSAI to connect to any factory shopfloor easily and in less than a week, ensuring SENSAI is able to extract any data needed as well as ensuring OT network security is maintained or even bettered
  • development of the future vision of automation and integration of IIoT into automation eventually in the future
  • development of IIoT solutions, especially in the wireless area (both wireless data transmission and wireless power), utilising state of the art wireless data transmission capable of withstanding industrial rigor as well as state of the art power solution (including ultra-low power components, wireless energy charging and energy harvesting)
  • I adapted the methodology of agile into the development of hardware in order to align with the company value of agility and was able to double the efficiency of the team and accelerating the delivery timescale.
  • I led the company in developing the right technology needed, which had resulted in the company being able to offer very unique solutions in the industry that are very much sought after.

Metalsa

Technical Expert / Specialist

Mar 2017 – Jun 2017 · 3 mos · United States

  • Worked in a startup incubation funded by Metalsa in the form of CVC, led by Mach49. Follow through the lean startup methodology and Silicon Valley style of working, with guidance from coaches who are former CEOs. Brought in as AM expert, but was able to be objective of the direction of the incubation, detaching from AM, and following new direction according to customers' pains/needs. Was able to secure further funding from Metalsa to develop the incubation idea/concept further into initial round of MVP development.
