I'm Elliot

Mechanical Engineering Student at the University of Bath

Driven by a passion for innovation, I enjoy designing drone components with Team Bath Drones, exploring AI applications in robotics, and building projects like a custom-built chess game from scratch or coding a website for my portfolio. I thrive at the intersection of creativity, technology, and hands-on problem solving — always eager to turn ideas into tangible solutions.

Outside of engineering, I am an active member of Green Bath Racing, contributing to powertrain development for our Shell Eco-marathon vehicle. I also serve as Secretary of the SPI Sailing Society, where I organise events and coordinate a regatta involving over 30 universities across Europe.

I have been a competitive swimmer for many years and still compete to this day; I find that the discipline and rhythm of sport help balance the demands of engineering.

I’m driven by projects that challenge me mentally, physically, and creatively. I'm always eager to learn new tools, work with new people, and step beyond my comfort zone. Thank you for taking the time to explore the person behind the projects.
