About

Mechanical engineering student (5th year, IPSA Toulouse, Space/Launchers/Satellites specialization) with hands-on experience in 3D modeling, technical drawing, and structural analysis. I combine CAD design (SolidWorks, CATIA V5) with finite element analysis (MSC Patran/Nastran) to deliver parts that are not just modeled correctly, but engineered to perform under real mechanical constraints.

Available for part modeling from sketches or physical parts (reverse engineering), technical drawings with GD&T, part optimization/weight reduction, and realistic 3D rendering (Blender).

Reliable, detail-oriented, and used to working under strict technical requirements from aerospace coursework.

Experience

Freelance CAD Designer Malt · Self-employed Aug 2025 – Present 1 yrs 1 mos Toulouse, France Mechanical part modeling, technical drawings, and 3D rendering for independent clients. Projects include [ajoute au fur et à mesure de tes vraies missions].
Mechanical Engineering Student IPSA · Full-time Sep 2024 – Present 2 yrs Toulouse, France Completed structural FEM analysis (stress concentration, mesh convergence studies) in MSC Patran/Nastran; parametric CAD design in CATIA V5 (Design Tables, BOM management); fluid dynamics coursework (nozzle design, Euler equations).

Education

IPSA, Toulouse Master's in Aerospace Engineering (in progress), Aerospace, Year 5 2024 – 2027 (expected)

Other experience

CATIA Project — Reusable Space Habitat Design for Mars Mission Academic project (group of engineering students) designing a reusable space system to send 10 astronauts and 17 tons of cargo to Mars by 2028, targeting a cost of €1M per passenger. My team was responsible for the Space Habitat module — designed to autonomously and safely host 10 astronauts for a 400-day mission.

My personal contribution: modeling of multiple mechanical parts under CATIA V5, final assembly of the habitat ensuring mechanical and functional consistency, and work on the overall architecture and module integration.

The habitat ("Mars'upilami") uses a modular, deployable architecture compatible with an existing launch vehicle, including a survival module (power, water, air recycling), a leisure/wellbeing space, a docking module, a living module, and a command module with an EVA airlock.

Skills applied: CATIA V5 assembly and modeling, systems-level space architecture, real-world design constraints (mass, cost, launcher compatibility), and cross-functional teamwork on a complex, multi-module system.
CATIA V5 Parametric Design — Academic Project Parametric modeling of a military vehicle (Leclerc tank) including Design Tables, ballistic/impact modeling, and configuration management via BOM.
Blender 3D Design — Personal Projects Interior space modeling and rendering (furniture, lighting, materials) — full pipeline from modeling to final render.
