About

I am a Mechanical Design Engineer and Industrial Designer with nearly a decade of experience in bridging the gap between aesthetic product design and rigorous structural engineering. My expertise lies in the full development cycle—from initial concept and 3D modeling to advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and international certification (EN, ADR, TSE standards).

I specialize in the design of pressure vessels, mobile tankers, and complex industrial equipment. My workflow ensures that every design is not only visually optimized but also structurally sound and compliant with global manufacturing standards. Whether it is a high-precision consumer product or heavy-duty industrial machinery, I focus on durability, safety, and production efficiency.
