I am a mechanical engineer and analyst with 14 years of experience in the energy industry. I have worked in a variety of roles ranging from mechanical design and advanced analysis to maintenance engineering and R&D. I have a passion for embracing new technology while also calling upon the lessons of the past. I am a strong believer that different industries and branches of engineering should attempt to learn from one another to prevent repeats of past mistakes. I think this is especially true when dealing with safety. In my free time I enjoy relaxing with my wife and two year old son. I also try to take time to work on my various electronics and 3D printing projects. http://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-wakefield-meng-cantab-ceng-mimeche
