About
A Mechatronics Engineer by training, I moved into intellectual property research because it lets me do what I enjoy most: taking apart a technology and understanding exactly how it works. Early in my career I conducted research into manufacturing processes, materials characterisation, and prototype development — building the kind of hands-on technical foundation that later made me a more rigorous analyst. That engineering foundation has shaped my approach to patent research, freedom-to-operate analysis, and technology landscape assessment across a diverse range of technical fields.
Experience
- Provided multi-channel customer support, maintaining clear and professional communication under pressure.
- Adhered to strict governance and compliance standards across all activities.
- Managed end-to-end project delivery, coordinating between client engineering teams and patent attorneys to preserve technical detail throughout.
- Conducted IP research and developed protection strategies for national and international portfolios, advising clients on patents, trademarks, and design rights.
- Performed landscape analyses, freedom-to-operate searches, and state-of-the-art reviews to support strategic decision-making and identify commercialisation opportunities.
- Drafted patent applications and IP-related technical reports across a variety of technology fields.
- Ran internal training sessions for junior colleagues and commercial teams on IP services and client matching.
- Used Excel extensively to organise, analyse, and present research findings, and prepare structured datasets for external platforms.
Research Experience
- Conducted research into injection moulding processes and manufacturing parameters.
- Developed and analysed moulding simulations using SolidWorks Plastics.
- Designed components and prototypes using SolidWorks CAD software.
- Manufactured functional prototypes using conventional workshop equipment, including lathes and milling machines.
- Performed prototype evaluation and basic functional testing.
- Conducted research into rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing processes, including optimisation of 3D printing parameters.
- Designed prototypes and experimental components using SolidWorks CAD software.
- Performed prototype validation and basic functional testing.
- Supported laboratory activities related to the mechanical behaviour and characterisation of engineering materials.
- Performed heat-treatment processes and sample preparation for metallographic analysis.
- Conducted hardness testing using Vickers, Brinell, and Rockwell methods.
- Assisted with materials characterisation and laboratory record-keeping.
