About

I am a Senior Designer and CAD Engineer with more than 20 years of experience in offshore energy, marine engineering, mechanical design, and aerospace. My work focuses on 3D/2D design, cable route engineering for monopiles, jackets, offshore platforms, and vessels, as well as developing deck layouts, technical documentation, and visual materials that ensure safe and efficient project execution. Throughout my career, I have supported complex offshore projects from concept to production, collaborating closely with clients, project teams, engineering departments, and fabrication partners. I also contribute to project engineering activities, including ship mobilization, construction supervision, and the creation of work instructions and safety-critical schematic documentation. My background includes aerospace design, resin-injection technology development, and more than six years of safety-critical aircraft maintenance experience with the German Airforce. This has shaped my structured, precise, and reliability-focused working style. I am highly proficient in Inventor, AutoCAD, and MS Office, with daily use of English in my work environment. I enjoy combining hands-on technical expertise with creative problem-solving to deliver solutions that are practical, safe, and aligned with project requirements.
