About Jerome

Engineer in modeling, thermal and fluid mechanics with over 15 years of experience, I work on complex industrial projects, mainly in upstream studies, feasibility analysis and technical structuring.

I support companies in:
  • analyzing thermal and energy systems,
  • establishing balances, assumptions, and orders of magnitude,
  • identifying technical bottlenecks and integration constraints,
  • clearly and actionably formalizing results to aid decision-making.
In parallel with these engineering missions, I also work on high-value-added industrial technical documentation projects, particularly for special machines with high normative and technical requirements.
These missions are part of a logic of standardization, clarification, and securing of complex systems, in close collaboration with R&D, methods, and production teams.

My positioning is at the interface between technical expertise, a pragmatic industrial vision, and the ability to deliver clear results, for both engineers and decision-makers.
