01 / Expertise
Specialist depth.
Full-cycle engineering range.
The technical breadth from my résumé, organized here around how it creates value: analyze difficult physics, build repeatable workflows, and help customers act on the result.
Materials & structures
Material calibration and complex constitutive behavior across plasticity, hyperelasticity, viscoelasticity, composites, damage, failure, and fracture.
Automation & engineering software
Python and Isight workflows for advanced FEA, design of experiments, optimization, parameter studies, and repeatable technical exploration.
Consulting & enablement
Customer-facing engineering spanning discovery, consulting, support, troubleshooting, demonstrations, onboarding, training, and technical content.

These public-safe capability stories add context without exposing customer identities, proprietary geometry, or confidential results.
Turn advanced FEA studies into repeatable workflows
- Contribution
- Build Python and Isight workflows for parameter studies, design of experiments, optimization, and advanced Abaqus analyses.
- Why it matters
- Repeatability and traceability make deeper exploration practical and help teams compare technical options with more confidence.
capability story
Model structural response beyond simplified assumptions
- Contribution
- Apply nonlinear FEA to composites, durability, damage, and failure questions, grounded in graduate research on composite fracture modeling.
- Why it matters
- Material directionality, load paths, and failure assumptions are made explicit before a contour plot becomes a recommendation.
capability story
Translate material behavior into simulation-ready models
- Contribution
- Connect available evidence to constitutive choices and calibration across plasticity, hyperelasticity, viscoelasticity, and damage behavior.
- Why it matters
- A defensible material strategy makes model limitations visible and gives downstream structural results a stronger foundation.
capability story
The work continues after the model runs.
I connect technical discovery, modeling strategy, troubleshooting, demonstrations, proposals, pilot projects, onboarding, and training so that strong analysis can become adopted engineering practice.

03 / Approach
From an open question
to a usable solution.
The value of simulation is not the contour plot. It is the quality of the decision that follows.
- 01Define
Clarify the engineering question, decision, evidence, and constraints.
- 02Strategize
Select the right level of model fidelity and a defensible analysis plan.
- 03Analyze
Build, automate, and interrogate the model with disciplined checks.
- 04Interpret
Separate meaningful signals from numerical noise and model limitations.
- 05Communicate
Translate findings, uncertainty, and tradeoffs for the people deciding.
- 06Enable
Support adoption through workflows, training, and implementation.
I am a Vancouver-based engineering professional working at the intersection of advanced simulation, application engineering, consulting, and customer enablement.
My career has moved from composite fracture research, to hands-on product development, to customer-facing simulation consulting. That arc helps me work across the full problem: understand the physics, respect design constraints, communicate with stakeholders, and make the solution usable.
