    • About Me:

      I work with underwater robots for automating inspections of offshore wind turbines, my role is to help to test the robots in test environments.

      I am also a keen tinker-er of electronics/robots and an avid oogler of marine life.

      I love painting minatures, swimming and diving.

      I am a sensor developer, which means i am working with different technologies to detect things in the marine environment. I work with marine robots to deliver the sensors to where they need to be.

    • My Typical Day:

      I work 9-5 generally and this can include a whole host of things from designing components on the computer to then 3D print them or to going to the electronics lab.
