I solve problems for a living. Many of them are structural, but some of them are not.

Becoming a mechanical engineer was the only natural path for me. I find meaning and comfort in firm rules of mechanics, precision and creativity for solving technical challenges that make world better place for everyone. Now I apply same principles to designing a life that makes more sense.

In a nutshell

Mechanical engineer

  • designing things which make other things happen — as a generalist with broad industry experience

  • designing sound welded structures which hold other things — as a specialist with IIW certification - IWSD (International Welded Structures Designer)

Under the hood

16 years of international experience across industries

Moving countries and being curious built my character not only CV.

I'm a mechanical engineer, not a magician

I trust in clear design specs and sound engineering practice. I don’t pull rabbits out of the hat.

I'm not afraid of difficult conversations

Rest assured I will be asking (uncomfortable) questions and expect accountability.
