About me


Principal engineering specialist with more than two decades of experience in offshore structural design, advanced simulation, and technology development for offshore wind and energy infrastructure. Proven track record at Ørsted, Vattenfall, and Rambøll delivering foundation design, fatigue assessment, and structural integrity solutions for large-scale offshore assets. Recognised for combining deep FEA expertise with digital innovation, including AI-driven engineering tools that improve concept evaluation, cost estimation, and design optimisation. A focused, analytical, and highly organised professional who naturally assumes the role of quality assurer in complex projects. Known for identifying critical technical nuances, structuring complex problems, and delivering robust solutions while collaborating effectively across multidisciplinary and international teams.
In addition to my engineering career, I have successfully built a real estate investment portfolio, independently developing a strategic approach to maximize returns. My investments continue to generate strong cash flow and long-term financial growth, reflecting my analytical mindset and ability to make data-driven decisions across industries. This experience has honed my financial planning, risk assessment, and business negotiation skills, allowing me to identify high-potential opportunities, structure favorable deals, and optimize portfolio performance through strategic decision-making.
