About

I am an Assistant Marine Design Manager with 18 years of hands-on experience working in Singapore — one of Asia's most demanding maritime environments. My work focuses on small craft and commercial vessels: workboats, harbour cleaning and environmental vessels, breeze boats, and utility craft.

I carry out the full design process from concept through to production-ready drawings, including hull form development, general arrangement plans, structural drawings, and stability analysis. My software tools are Rhino 3D and AutoCAD, both used daily throughout my career.

Working in Singapore's port and harbour sector means I understand the practical realities of vessel operations, tight timelines, classification requirements, and building for real-world conditions — not just drawing boards.

I am now available for remote project work and consulting with international clients. Whether you need a hull designed from scratch, a GA plan, a structural package, or a design review, I bring two decades of real shipyard-facing experience to every project.

Other experience

Maritime Industry Exposure — Singapore, 19 years Throughout my career I have worked closely with:

• Commercial shipyards and boatbuilders in Singapore
• Vessel operators in Singapore's port and harbour sector
• Classification society requirements (e.g. BV, LR, ABS) for small craft

This hands-on, yard-facing experience means my drawings are practical and buildable — not just technically correct on paper.
