Short Bio: My life revolves around engineering & business, from working on my race car to working with various motorsport clients for my reverse engineering company, Laminar Solutions Ltd. You’ll always find me tinkering with something or striking up a deal with someone.
Outside of my profession and business, I’m quite extroverted. I’m always out and about with friends, and I’m an avid gym-goer with a focus on powerlifting. Other than that, I love following MMA, playing competitive first-person shooters, and going on track days in my BMW M2 & Clio 197 race car.
