About

Portrait of Olivier Hinds

I am a mechanical engineering student at the University of Sussex, from Guildford, and the director of Unified Projects, a technical consultancy I founded in 2024 that now advises 25+ clients across healthcare, logistics, education, and energy.

The degree side is simulation and analysis: CFD in ANSYS Fluent, FEA, controls in MATLAB and Simulink, and workshop time, plus battery and low-voltage work with Sussex Racing.

I have been shipping production software since I was sixteen, starting with voice systems for hospitality and stadium environments, including Royal Ascot and the 2023 Rugby World Cup. These days that means live platforms: freight logistics, NHS-facing appointment booking, and AI-assisted learning in schools.

Away from the desk I co-founded the City of London Corporation’s Youth Natural Environment Board, which runs a London-wide schools sustainability competition with E.ON.
