“I am passionate about ensuring the preservation of our natural environment and the liveability and sustainability of our built environment through good urban planning and innovative engineering. There are a number of barriers to achieving these outcomes such as financial, social, and political pressures which I am committed to solving through new ways of thinking. I really enjoy breaking engineering problems down to first principles and using critical thinking to build them back up into solutions that result in better outcomes for our natural and built environments”.
