About

I am a Mechanical Engineer with extensive experience in product design, development, and validation across R&D and multiple sectors. I have led projects from concept through industrialization, and I’m proficient with CAD/FEA tools (SolidWorks, PTC Creo, CATIA V5, ANSYS) and Windchill PLM. I enjoy turning ideas into reliable products, improving processes, and delivering robust designs that meet requirements and standards.

I thrive in cross-functional teams, drive design for manufacturing, qualification testing, and certification processes, and I continuously seek cost reductions and client-driven improvements. I am comfortable managing projects through to industrial release and I value hands-on testing, environmental validation, and scalable manufacturing.
