01 — About

Program leadership, delivered end to end.

PMP-certified program and project leader with 13+ years of mechanical engineering and New Product Development experience, guiding multiple concurrent global projects through structured Stage Gate and Gate Review processes — from scoping and feasibility through development, validation, and production launch.

I own scope, schedule, and cost end to end while serving as the primary point of contact for cross-functional engineering, validation, and global stakeholder teams. My work is grounded in proactive risk identification, issue escalation, and corrective-action planning to keep projects on the critical path — with assertive, transparent communication that builds a culture of accountability and urgency across distributed teams.

Programs I've shepherded to launch.

A closer look at representative programs spanning flagship multi-variant genset ranges, modular product architecture, embedded software delivery, and HIL test-rig development.

Flagship Program

T4F Genset Range

G70RS · G125RS · G220RS · G400RS · G625RS

Objective

Develop a new industrial power-generation (genset) range for the US market across five variants.

Outcomes

→Delivered five genset programs within aggressive timelines — first prototype completed within six months to meet customer evaluation deadlines.
→Defined scope and technical requirements with global teams across the UK and India.
→Coordinated shared resources across five concurrent NPD programs while maintaining schedule and cost.
→Led Stage Gate reviews, risk management, and change-control processes — driving decision-making transparency.
→Reduced overall development time by 15% by introducing early cross-functional involvement during design and validation.

Embedded Software Program

Access T86

Base & Platform ECU — Bosch RC 18-12/40

Objective

Software development for Base and platform ECU (Bosch RC 18-12/40).

Outcomes

→Delivered software release 100% on schedule with zero major defects in machine testing.
→Directed all Agile (Scrum) ceremonies — sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives — aligning multi-disciplinary software teams and maintaining predictable release velocity.
→Owned the master release schedule and risk register, proactively identifying and mitigating integration challenges to deliver the full software package on time.
→Managed all stakeholder communication, translating complex technical progress into clear status reports for senior leadership.

Test Rig Development

TesLAR HIL Rig Development

Hardware-in-the-Loop rigs for 4 NPD machines

Objective

Testing rig development for the 4 NPD machines.

Outcomes

→Completed two HIL rigs 10% ahead of plan, supporting early-stage NPD testing and validation.
→Prepared a comprehensive project plan for each rig to meet all gate review milestones.
→Delivered rigs within the £25,000 approved budget through optimized resource allocation, component commonization, and part localization.
→Established a robust communication plan with cross-functional teams and suppliers to ensure on-time completion.
→Supported procurement activities and streamlined part sourcing, reducing lead times and maintaining project continuity.

Product Architecture

Modular Control Panel System

Cummins Container Genset Programme — Kent, UK

Objective

Design and implement a modular control panel system to improve assembly efficiency across a range of generator sets.

Outcomes

→Standardized panel architecture across multiple genset variants.
→Executed the full product release lifecycle in PLM Windchill.
→Conducted comprehensive part modelling, assembly design, and installation drawing verification.
