Mechanical Engineer Expert | ITER Certified Advanced Designer | GD&T & DFM
Nuclear research requirements at the service of your industrial projects.
Mechanical Engineer with a double MSc (Mechanical Design & Sustainable Energy), I work on highly complex technical projects where precision is a prerequisite for safety and performance. My experience within the international ITER project has allowed me to forge a "zero error" mindset applied to high-precision components.
My expertise for your projects:
✅ **Advanced Design & CAD**: Complete mastery of CATIA V5, PTC Creo, SolidWorks, and Fusion 360. I create complex assemblies, from initial concept to final STEP files.
✅ **Functional Dimensioning Expertise (GD&T)**: Rigorous application of ASME Y14.5 and ISO 1101 standards. I ensure the interchangeability of your parts and reduce manufacturing scrap.
✅ **Design for Manufacturing (DFM)**: Optimization of your designs for machining (CNC), casting, or sheet metal fabrication to reduce your production costs and lead times.
✅ **Engineering Intelligence (Power BI)**: Unlike a traditional designer, I deploy custom Power BI tools for managing your Bills of Materials (BOM) and tracking your project milestones (dynamic Gantt charts).
