Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSean Russell is a detail-driven designer with 10+ years’ experience across engineering draughting, architectural technology, and product design, now transitioning into Document Control and QHSE roles. Based in the Greater Aberdeen Area, he blends hands-on CAD and drafting pedigree from firms like Schlumberger and Weatherford with recent design work at Expro. He pairs practical field surveying and fabrication insight with formal study in geosciences and a software development diploma, giving him a rare mix of technical drawing, safety-focused process thinking, and coding literacy. An active open-source contributor, he refactored layout parsing and stdin support for the terminal monitor gotop, demonstrating attention to usability and tooling flexibility. Comfortable operating between legacy engineering workflows and modern version-controlled environments (he migrated to SourceHut for his code), he excels at turning complex specifications into clear, auditable deliverables.
