Summary
A technically-minded CNC specialist with over a decade of experience in busy machine shops. I specialise in the setup and programming of advanced Miyano and Nakamura machines, delivering high-tolerance parts under AS9100 standards. I pride myself on being a practical problem-solver who can bridge the gap between the design office and the shop floor, whether that’s through offline CAM programming or manual G-code tweaks at the spindle.
