About
Engineering & Energy – Supporting Your Complex and Innovative Technical Projects
Are you developing a technical system, an energy product, or an industrial process and need operational support?
I assist you with your design, energy optimization, and industrialization projects by bringing technical rigor, system thinking, and creativity to help you meet your challenges.
How I Can Help?
Design of Technical Systems: From concept to detailed drawings, including component selection, 3D modeling, and preparation of technical bills of materials.
Thermal and Energy Studies: Sizing of systems (heating, storage, conversion), performance simulations, audits, and optimization proposals.
Project Coordination & Technical Follow-up: Liaising with suppliers, tracking procurement and logistics, writing specifications, and conducting on-site diagnostics.
Mapping & Layout Planning: Production of technical renderings using QGIS for infrastructure layout or spatial analysis of networks and flows.
Examples of Deliverables and Completed Assignments
CAD modeling and integration drawings (Rhino, Catia)
Thermal studies (batteries, heat exchangers, fluids, technical buildings)
Drafting of functional and technical specifications
Sizing of thermal and photovoltaic solar systems
Energy logistics studies (gas storage, cryogenic transport, latent heat)
Cartographic renderings for industrial site analysis or equipment layout
Technical diagnostic reports, after-sales follow-up, and design recommendations
Bid response documents and industrial strategy planning
