An engineer who embeds with the people who own a problem and ships production software they want to use every day.
MEng Product Design Engineering (1st Class) — Loughborough University
Software Engineer at Bentley Motors — scoped, built and deployed an internal platform solo, from stakeholder discovery to production
Now live with around 200 R&D engineers — projected £11.5m saving over six years
Selected Work
Production software I’ve shipped — a platform live with around 200 engineers and a regulated medical-device app — with design work showing the wider range.
Legal Process Automation
Professional Project · Bentley Motors · 2024–2026
Handed a cross-departmental process nobody owned, I embedded with every affected department, ran the stakeholder discovery myself, and turned the findings into a business case the Bentley board approved. I then built the platform solo — TypeScript, Next.js and Spring Boot, bridging VW Group's Java 8 SOAP legacy services — and remediated every finding from an independent security audit before launch. HAWK has been live with around 200 R&D engineers since 22 May 2026, with projected savings of £11.5m over six years.

Medical Mobile App Deployment
Professional Project · electronRx · 2022-2023
A medical-device app that measures cardiac metrics using only a phone's sensors, built in Flutter and Dart during my placement year at electronRx. Delivering software in a regulated industry, I built almost all of the front end and, as Usability Lead, authored the usability and risk documentation that fed the company's ISO 13485-certified quality system and its submission to the BSI for UKCA marking. When the lead engineer was away, I was trusted to run the five-engineer dev team — assigning work, reviewing all code and managing the TestFlight release, hitting every deadline.

MEng Product Design Engineering graduate from Loughborough University, now a Software Engineer at Bentley Motors, working forward-deployed. I take ambiguous business problems, go and sit with the people who own them, and ship production software into their daily work — HAWK, the platform I built solo for Bentley R&D, is the proof.
