Accomplishments
I have worked with multi national companies to develop engineered parts for my business over the years. These include Boeing, Airbus and other blue chip companies.
A recent project we completed with my colleagues was working for Vestas where we worked on a heated vacuum table to solve a solution where salt erosion was causing problems with the blades for wind turbines.
We created a new solution which allowed the company to continue with their work.
Despite my qualifications in English and History I am also a passionate machinist and have extensive knowledge in CNC. Computer Numerical Control. I understand CAD CAM. Computer aided design and computer aided modelling. I have worked in this industry for 12 years.
Reading, Engineering, Science and Nature
My interests outside of work are varied. I enjoy reading. I like to read the financial times and Bloomberg daily.
History and culture is a passion which I enjoy. My area of expertise is the second world war. My dissertation was completed on the Holocaust in Israeli Life.
I am also extremely interested in Nature and Science. I am big follower of Professor Richard Dawkins and the Late Christopher Hitchens.
My reading is too expansive to go into in a CV but it is a passion of mine.
