Creating and modifying things has been a lifelong passion, and that drive naturally led me into the world of design engineering. 

After finishing my engineering degree, I was recruited to Germany to work as a specialist design engineer for a major international company. Four years later, I joined a small mountain bike company, where I could be more hands-on, innovative, and part of a fast-moving product development environment - which was closer to my life long passion of working on cars.

I founded Dinkum Engineering to help builders and fabricators all over the world bring their visions to life. I’ve worked with some incredible clients, supporting them in turning their ideas into real, functional products. 

With modern tools like 3D scanning, 3D printing, and cloud-based CAD platforms, effective collaboration is possible from anywhere. Whether you're restoring a classic car, developing a custom part, or launching a new product, I'm here to support your vision from concept to creation.
