Experience

Examples of past work to help you judge fit, approach and delivery style

I’ve been delivering professional design and engineering work since 2004, across hundreds of projects with many dozens of end clients. Below is a small selection of case studies, chosen to give an illustrative overview of the kinds of problems I tend to help with, the way I approach them, and the kinds of outcomes delivered.

Much of my work is confidential, and some of the most commercially sensitive projects cannot be shown publicly. These examples are intended as a representative public sample rather than a complete record of all projects.

What to include

To help me give you a useful reply, please mention…

  • What you’re building or dealing with (one or two sentences)
  • What’s going wrong, or what decision you’re trying to make
  • Key constraints (budget, timescale, materials, interfaces, standards)
  • What information you already have (CAD, drawings, photos, etc)
  • Desired outcome (e.g. options report, CAD pack, calcs, FEA etc)
  • Any deadlines and why they exist (so I can reality-check them)

Attachments

Attachments are welcome:

  • All enquiries and attachments are treated as confidential by default

What happens next?

I’ll usually reply with a quick fit-check…

If it's a fit:

  • I’ll tell you whether and how I can help
  • I’ll give you some options for how we could move forward
  • I’ll ask for the minimum info needed to scope it

If it's not a fit:

  • I’ll say so and tell you why
  • I may suggest an alternative route, if appropriate
