The short version

Engineering judgment, not just calculation.

I'm a mechanical engineer with 8+ years across the offshore wind energy, marine, and shipbuilding sectors — including seven years with Bright Engineering B.V. in the Netherlands.

Throughout my experience, I've modelled real structures to analyse how they behave under different loading conditions. My expertise ranges from running static linear analysis on large-scale global models, including full-beam ship models, to truncated models tested against cyclic loading using advanced non-linear FEA.

I am currently providing my services as an engineer to a major shipbuilder in Canada, designing and verifying lift and transport plans for ship blocks — engineered around the cranes and SPMTs available in the yard. Every deliverable is produced within a regulated engineering environment, reviewed and signed off by a licensed Professional Engineer before release.

What I offer

Six areas of specialist work.

View full services
01

FEA & Structural Analysis

Linear, non-linear, and fatigue analysis — load equalization, model auditing, hex meshing.
02

Lifting & Rigging

Lug design, full lift plan development, rigging calculations, and on-site support.
03

Transport & Sea Fastening

SPMT planning, sea fastening per DNV RU-ship, and underdeck stress analysis.
04

Fabrication Support

Pin jig & workstation layout, buckling checks, blocking plans, and weld sizing.
05

Design & Optimisation

Detail engineering packages and FEA-guided material and weight reduction.
06

Review & Compliance

Independent verification across DNV, LR, CSA, AISC, and ASME VIII.
How to work with me

Two ways to bring me in.

Embedded

On your engineering team

Extra FEA and verification capacity for your existing structural team — independent model checks, lift and transport analysis, and a second pair of eyes that catches problems before production.

Independent

On a self-contained scope

Small, well-defined engineering packages I can own end to end — a lift plan, a sea fastening calculation, an FEA review — delivered within a regulated environment, P.Eng signed off.

Available for contract and overflow work — remote, or on-site across North America.
