"After completing my Master’s in Advanced Manufacturing Technology and Systems Management at The University of Manchester, I’ve built a career at the intersection of engineering, digital systems, and asset management—primarily across the aerospace and railway sectors.
The programme’s emphasis on systems integration, lean thinking, and digital manufacturing equipped me to contribute effectively to high-integrity environments. In rail, I’ve led projects on digitalising maintenance systems, improving asset lifecycle strategies aligned to ISO55001, and supporting operational readiness for large transport networks.
My aerospace exposure included systems-based engineering approaches and process assurance for safety-critical environments. The analytical and structured problem-solving skills from my degree have been key to delivering improvements in performance, safety, and cost efficiency in both industries."
