Lead engineer on 3 large multi-million-dollar construction and technological deployment builds in both Saudi Arabia and UAE.

Each build was non-standard and required the incorporation of various technological showcases and proof of concepts at different stages of TRL.

System code-named “Bloc-4” was taken from concept and initial development all the way to large scale prototype.

This system utilized a novel approach to vapor compression cycles to store energy in the phase change of a separate material and deploy that stored energy when required.

This system is still “trade secret” property of RedSea and the patent is pending international filing.

Teams of disparate skillsets, targets and backgrounds managed effectively and efficiently across multiple countries and time zones.

With a strong focus on team cohesion and personal professional development, my department had the lowest turnover rate of the entire company with numerous requests from engineers to transfer over into my department.

High value crops such as strawberries are unable to grow in arid climates such as the GCC for roughly half of the year even with widely used cooling technology such as evaporative cooling.

Combining novel energy storage solutions along with a redesign of the concept of DWC, a system was designed, prototyped and then produced at scale to allow year-round production of high value crops.

This system is deployed and working at a commercial site in Al Ain, UAE.

From concept to large (1 hectare) scale deployment of a reactive system directly driving industrial 3 phase loads from photovoltaics.

Ideal for loads that track with solar gain such as cooling systems, fans etc. this system bypasses the standard solar inverter and subsequent frequency modulation via the DC solar directly powering the IGBT of a drive which is modulated by direction from the source’s own MPPT.

Developed a range of photo-reactor based systems to allow hybridization with existing sub-critical water treatment processes.

These were developed to take human waste and purify it to water of satisfactory standards using minimal power and infrastructure.

The working prototype of this has been constructed and is currently undergoing field tests on site in New Zealand.

As CTO of Murex, I developed a flexible thermoplastic polyurethane 3D printer filament.

This material has USP Class VI (skin safe), EC, FDA food contact and NSF 61 drinking water approval and conforming to ISO10993.

The material was showcased at Arab Health and was subsequently selected for trials with Médecins Sans Frontières for the development of rapid manufacture, on site prosthetics.

Partnering with a plastics recycling company, Murex developed both the hardware and chemical means to take medical waste from hospitals and turn it into a viable recycled product.

This body of work allowed the once incinerated waste to be used in processes such as plastic injection molding.

The hospitals involved now receive income for their medical waste, generating extra revenue for the NHS (the British national health service) as well as offsetting their carbon footprint.

Target driven research and development has resulted in the development of modified polyurethanes and both tin / platinum cure silicones.

These modifications have allowed me to meet a wide range of demanding customer specifications from surface finish and impact modification to RADAR (ground penetrating), X-ray and ultrasound response.
