As a consultant to automotive OEMs, I develop vehicle calculation models for the exterior components using industry-standard CAE tools, conduct detailed analyses of simulation results, and provide recommendations for design optimizations and enhanced vehicle safety measures.Currently managing projects for BMW Group. I manage tight project deadlines, and deliverables while ensuring technical accuracy in areas like structural integrity and crashworthiness. Coordinating with a team of engineers, I facilitate clear communication between technical staff and stakeholders to drive successful project outcomes.

I managed bulk material handling projects, overseeing the design, installation, and optimization of conveyor systems. I led teams, managed budgets, and ensured projects met safety, quality, and timeline goals, delivering efficient solutions that enhanced material flow and reduced costs.

Collaborated with multinational contractors like Samsung Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Tecnimont S.p.A., overseeing the design and engineering of bulk material handling equipment, producing over a hundred CAD models using Autodesk Inventor, conducting Finite-Element Analyses for structural integrity, and generating and reviewing extensive engineering drawings for manufacturing and assembly requirements.
