Built for engineers who want to learn how to work smarter

Positive Change is an online learning platform designed specifically with you, my fellow engineers, in mind. I believe the engineers who will shape our industry are (you) the ones who combine deep technical knowledge with the ability to transform that knowledge into robust tools.

My course is instructor-led and structured with the aim of giving you a clear learning path, content directly applicable to software and tools we work with. And because we know engineering work doesn't pause for you to attend classes at set times during the day (let alone in my time zone), the modules are self-paced: work through the material when it suits your schedule, without falling behind.

Individual and group activities at the end of each module help reinforce what you have learnt in a practical way that can be carried forward into your daily work from day one. Also have some fun with your colleagues while you learn together.

This isn't a generic coding bootcamp. Every module is tailored with our specific systems and tools in mind.

Why Automation matters...

Learning to automate removes the ceiling on what we as engineers can produce. Here's what that can look like in practice.

Think like a systems engineer

Beyond individual scripts, you'll learn to see your work ethic as a system — and design workflows that scale with your projects and your team.

Dramatically faster output

Calculations that take hours manually run in seconds. Automate member sizing, load combinations, and report generation so you can deliver more, faster.

Custom tools for your workflow

Stop bending generic software to fit your projects. Build the exact tools your practice needs — section checkers, load tracers, code-compliance helpers.

Fewer errors, by design

Spreadsheets break. Scripts don't lie. Code-driven workflows are transparent, repeatable, and auditable — catching mistakes before they reach a drawing.

Integrate with the tools you already use

Connect Python to Excel, STAAD, Prokon, or IdeaStatica. Automate data in and out of the software you already rely on.
