About

I am open to learn and collaborate on the integration of processes, products, and people towards greater productivity and well-being. Combining Boiler-making skills and Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering experience, I work to design, simulate, modify and create products & processes that not only solve your problems theoretically, but practically.

My enthusiasm lies in Computer Aided Design, Industrial Automation, Simulation, Process Optimization and Personnel Safety.
