I have a BSc in applied physics from Melbourne University (1993), a BE in mech engineering from UWA (1997) and a PhD in aerospace/mechanical engineering from The University of Queensland (2012).

I was the Australian and Reentry System lead for the Mars Gravity Biosatellite project (2003-2013) which involved MIT and the University of Washington and worked to test the effect of martian level gravity on mice inside a small spinning Earth orbitting satellite.  I was a Computational Fluid Dynamics consultant with BMT-WBM in Brisbane for 5 or so years, working with clients to model industrial processes such as sewage flows, vibrating screen slurries and exploding coal dust by pioneering use of OpenFOAM.  My PhD involved experimental and computational simulation of the ablation from sacrificial heat shields using  (at the time) the world's largest expansion tube wind tunnel.

I became a stay at home Dad in 2011 and have been developing software (Java, Go, Rust, Pony) and toying with electromechanical designs for a few consumer devices.  I'm looking to learn more about the R&D and startup scene in Perth, and enjoy being creative and entrepreneurial.

has comprehensive qualifications, knowledge and experience in reverse engineering, civil, structural and mechanical engineering and drafting in the fields of power station design & repair, sewerage and water supply systems, agricultural engineering, road works, and harbour engineering.  He also has business qualifications in Operations Management, Quality Systems and Computing.

Desire to promote manufacturing of Quality value added products within Australia rather than import and lose manufacturing. 

EL ES DE Engineering is a SME with a traditional background in engineering, design & build projects. Having inhouse engineers and boilermakers we specilise in developing products that are buildable.

As the market moves away from more traditional methods we have taken an innovative approach and positioned ourselves for complex projects and products.

We are most proud of our RMB Minegrub http://remoteminibogger.com/rmb/ a remote controlled vehicle used on WA minesites to clean around operating machinery without shutdown and removing a number of HSE issues. Currently one unit is at South32's Worsely operation and the 2nd series will be on Rio Tinto's sites at the end of this year.

Another major achievement for us was the underwater robot we developed which houses a camera used for monitoring coral health without the need for divers. An automatic solution providing consistancy and repeatability whilst removing HSE issues.
