Professional Experience
Personal Profile
Aerospace engineer with a First-Class MEng from Queen Mary University of London. Currently an Associate AIV and Flight Software Engineer at ClearSpace working within the Flight Software and AIV teams. Outside of work, I am a Co-founder and mechanical team lead of Project SOBER, focused on multispectral imaging of resident space objects to quantify their impact on dark skies, observations, wildlife, indigenous communities, and satellite operations.

Experience
Associate AIV and Flight Software Engineer
Working within AIV/Software to develop hardware emulators, FlatSats and flight software.
AIV Simulation Intern
Working to facilitate closed loop HIL testing and supporting the development of closed loop flight software validation facility.
BEXUS 37 - Project SOBER Payload & Mechanical Co-Lead
As the Payload and Mechanical Engineering Co-Lead, I oversaw a team of five members to complete the mechanical design of a stratospheric balloon payload. This involved not only technical work but also rigorous systems engineering documentation, regular design reviews, and interactions with our industry stakeholders. The programme is supported by experts from ESA, DLR, SSC, Rymdstyrelsen, ZARM and EuroLaunch. BEXUS 37 launched successfully in October 2025 from Esrange Space Center in north Sweden with the longest flight time ever recorded as part of the BEXUS programme.
AOCS Team Lead
I served as the Attitude and Orbital Control System (AOCS) Lead for QMSEDS during the 2024/25 UKSEDS Satellite Design Competition, run in partnership with Airbus and Skyrora. Our team successfully designed, integrated, and presented a 3U CubeSat focused on rendezvous and proximity operations. I led the AOCS subsystem from preliminary analysis through to final integration and testing, guiding the team through the Critical Design Review (CDR) - where we scored 10/10 - and contributing to the overall success of the project, which was awarded Best Presentation for its systems engineering traceability and cross-team collaboration.
