👷♂️ Metal Construction Drafter | TopSolid Specialist
With solid experience in the metalworking industry, I began my career on the shop floor as a welder, metalworker, and boilermaker. These early years allowed me to acquire in-depth technical expertise and mastery of metal structure manufacturing and assembly processes.
Driven by a passion for precision and technical drawing, I then moved into the design office as a design drafter (TopSolid). There, I leverage my practical knowledge to create precise plans and optimize project execution.
Today, my diverse background allows me to combine practical know-how with design skills, thus bringing real added value to the projects I work on.

✅ Optimization and Technical Studies –Analysis and improvement of designs to reduce costs and optimize structure performance.
✅ Creation of Bills of Materials and File Management –Generation of material and parts lists for efficient production.
