About

I am a Naval Architect and Marine Engineer with over 14 years of experience designing recreational and commercial vessels. I specialize in developing monohulls, catamarans, yachts, workboats, and high-speed craft from initial concept through production-ready documentation.

My services include general arrangements, hull modeling, hydrostatics, performance and stability analysis, structural design, 3D production modeling, construction drawings, bills of materials, and CNC cutting files. I have experience with aluminum, steel, HDPE, GRP, and composite construction, as well as ISO and European recreational craft requirements.

I work primarily with Rhino 3D, Maxsurf, AutoCAD, delivering practical, weight-efficient, and buildable solutions for clients and boatbuilders.
