About Me
My Job Experience
Human Factors Simulation Engineer - RBSL
Played a key role in the development of a digital twin simulator for an Armoured Fighting Vehicle (AFV) using Unreal Engine 5, interpreting sub-system specifications and system models to accurately replicate system functionality. This includes hosting validation and verification sessions to sign this off with senior stakeholders/customers. This simulator validation process is being presented at the 2025 UK CIEHF conference.
Represented the company at industry events (DVD, DSET), demonstrating simulation capabilities to VVIPs, ministers, and key stakeholders, as well as hosting high-profile site visits. For these events a specific exhibition AFV simulator was developed and built to facilitate stakeholder engagement.
During my placement year at RBSL, I was awarded the DSET Intern of the Year Award and Staffordshire University's "Star Placement Student" Award.
