Army foundation
I joined the Army at 17. Four years taught me the value of teamwork, structure, training, discipline and being honest about mistakes so you can learn from them properly.
About The person behind the CV
Built from structure, engineering, family and curiosity.
My career has moved from the Army to engineering, oil and gas, offshore wind, program leadership and self-directed software projects. The thread through it all is simple: learn fast, work honestly, build trust, and create environments where people can do their best work.
Storyline
A practical path shaped by teamwork, design, delivery and taking bigger steps.
Plymouth engineering
I studied Mechanical Engineering with Computer-Aided Design at Plymouth. That gave me a strong technical base and a way to connect practical engineering with digital design.
Brighton and oil & gas
I moved to Brighton to start my career in oil and gas as a 3D designer, then moved into engineering leadership at AFGlobal, delivering subsea connection systems with multidisciplinary teams.
Projects, leadership and innovation
I moved from engineering into project management and senior leadership, pushing innovation in design, process, delivery rhythm and ways of working.
Siemens and Denmark
I took the next step into Siemens Gamesa, moving with my family from the UK to Denmark and expanding from oil and gas into renewable energy, large programs and manufacturing transformation.
Building value outside work
At home I like building things that matter: remodelling the house, creating Nesty to support my daughter, taking the kids out on bike rides, and learning software by solving real problems.
How I Work
I like structure, but only when it helps people think and deliver better.
Team trust first
The best work happens when teams trust each other, understand the goal and feel safe enough to surface problems early. Team building is not a side activity; it is part of delivery.
Honest learning
I believe in being clear about mistakes. If something went wrong, the useful question is what we learned, what we change, and how we stop the same issue repeating.
Outside-the-box, with risk in view
I generate a lot of ideas, but I am also evaluating risk as I talk. I like active discussion: test the idea, challenge the weak points, and shape a sensible route forward.
Dyslexia and ADHD
I am open about dyslexia and ADHD. It was hard growing up, but I have learned to use it as a strength: pattern-spotting, energy, creativity and a different way of connecting problems.
Build what makes sense
I do not like process for the sake of paper. Build on what works, remove what does not, simplify the noise and create an environment where practical thinking can happen.
Life Around The Work
Family, friends, food, sport and building things all feed the same mindset.
Family and building value
I am motivated by building value for my family. That can be as physical as remodelling and extending the house, or as digital as building Nesty so my daughter has a better route into reading, writing and routines.

Friends and socialising

A few personal markers behind the professional story.
Why this CV is different
It is still a professional profile, but it shows the full operating system behind the work: leadership, engineering, curiosity, family, relocation, resilience and the drive to keep learning.
Why include Snoaper.uk?
Snoaper is a personal hobby and learning lab. It shows curiosity, practical software learning and the ability to turn operational pain points into usable tools.
Why include family?
Because family life is part of the real story. It shows what motivates the work: building value, creating better routines and staying grounded outside the job title.
