Specialised in Ceramics Technology after graduating in Materials Science & Engineering. Deep, floor-level knowledge of wall & floor tile manufacturing: milling, firing, glaze preparation, and the quality controls that hold it all together.
Operational responsibility for milling section performance and raw-material consistency.
Managed the glaze preparation section; led R&D on new glaze materials and formulations.
Operational oversight of firing, where process-condition control determines final defect rates.
In-process and final inspection systems tied to SLS, CE Marking and Green Label certification.
Ongoing member of the factory's Technical Committee for New Product Development — evaluating new materials, foreign supplier trials, and process changes before they reach production. This is where materials science meets commercial reality: a glaze that looks perfect in the lab still has to survive full-scale firing.
Regular technical training for visiting undergraduates, civil engineers and architects on ceramic tile production processes — plus internal training for factory operatives and sales teams on technical tile characteristics.
Structured walkthroughs of the manufacturing process for engineering students.
Technical tile characteristics training so commercial teams sell accurately.
Sustainable building and Green Label training, connected to GBCSL freelance auditing work.
Glaze defects, compliance gaps, or NPD trials — happy to take a look.
