Over the last 6 years, I have been designing and developing both mechanical and digital solutions for the utilities and nuclear industry. Each project has had the customer at its heart and delivered a measurable and successful solution. I strongly believe in designing for the product lifecycle, not just for the sale. This approach has help me to build product roadmaps that do not immediately expire, but grow with the market and support the natural evolution of the product.
