About
PhD Mechanical Engineer with 10+ years of international experience in mechanical design, FEM analysis, and pressure vessel engineering. I specialize in the design and structural analysis of industrial equipment, pressure systems, pipelines, and custom machinery in compliance with EN 13445, ASME VIII, and GOST standards.
Over 200 certified pressure vessel calculations completed. Successfully led and executed projects involving:
- Pressure vessel and pipeline systems
- FEM simulation and fracture mechanics
- CAD modeling and manufacturing documentation
- Industrial LED product development
- Heavy machinery redesign and validation (e.g., bucket-wheel excavators)
I'm highly proficient in Dassault SolidWorks, CATIA V5, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, PVElite, Mathcad, Abaqus, and Ansys.
Clients value my deep technical expertise, reliability, and ability to deliver precise engineering solutions with full documentation and standards compliance.
Let’s work together to bring your mechanical concepts to life — safely, efficiently, and to spec.
