Path
An unconventional
path.
My path into science, technology, and engineering has not been conventional. My formal schooling ended after Year 10. I later completed a Certificate II in General Education for Adults and spent approximately two years studying toward a Certificate III in Civil and Structural Engineering, although I did not complete the qualification.
Most of what I know has been developed independently through curiosity, necessity, practical experience, persistent investigation, and a willingness to teach myself whatever a problem demands. I have learned through machinery, software, mathematical models, research papers, failed attempts, real-world consequences, and repeatedly returning to problems that were not yet solved.
I often think faster than I can comfortably write. My natural communication can therefore be rapid, compressed, and imperfect on the surface, but it preserves the underlying chain of reasoning. I value substance over presentation during the discovery process, followed by precise formalisation once the structure of an idea has been established.
This has shaped the way I approach every system. I do not want only to know what people believe works. I want to understand why it works, which assumptions support it, what evidence could contradict it, where its limits are, and whether its separated parts can be reconstructed into something more coherent.
