The Randstad, Netherlands
With over 17 years of experience in the offshore industry, including 14 years dedicated to floating wind, I have had the opportunity to participate in 2 major semi-submersible FOWT development projects as lead engineer. Listening to industry stakeholders and with my enthusiasm, dedication and leadership, I lead engineering teams in developing innovative solutions to face this nascent industry challenges. My open-mindedness has been key in bringing together people from different cultures, from USA, Europe and Asia. I thrive in open and collaborative environments, fuelled with ideas, possibilities and challenging technical problems.
Concept design of the Tri-Floater floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT). Technical support to the commercial director for RFI, RFQ and tenders. Dimensioning of the design to client specification (based on client's metocean, wind turbine input, etc.), preliminary stability and wave motion verification; design optimisation and preliminary strength and modal analysis. Preparation of concept and technical documentation for client's tender process during the French call for pilot projects in 2016 in collaboration with Saipem. Market survey and benchmarking. Design optimisation and R&D work on the concept. Commercial representation for GustoMSC at conferences and events on floating wind turbines.
Technical support to the commercial director for floating offshore wind (FOW) projects. Concept design of the Tri-Floater to client's specifications and assistance on industrialisation questions. Fabrication cost and schedule estimation for commercial projects. Quotation analysis from suppliers (shipyards, transportation companies, etc.) to prepare projects quotes. Assistance to the quotation team. Shipyard assistance during RFI/RFQ and tender stages. Preliminary supply chain setup for large commercial projects according to supplier's production capabilities and client's local content requirements while ensuring commercial competitiveness. Interfacing between quotation and engineering teams. Strong focus on industrialisation throughout the project phases
Part of the winner team of the sailing competition organised by "Voile Magazine" in 2004-2005. Sailed around the Atlantic ocean for a year "Le RM 1050" from Fora Marine, with monthly articles published by "Voile Magazine". Used the sailing opportunity to perform performance measurements at sea for master thesis project.
Lead structural engineer on DSS21M drilling semi-submersible for the Kaspian Sea. Global strength analysis in NX-IDEAS using the design wave approach of GustoMSC. Yield strength; buckling strength; wave induced fatigue strength of global and local structures. Yard support and verification of as-built situation in FE package. Class approval process for the hull structure. Supervision of work performed by the rest of the structural team.
