What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can deliver OEM-grade diagnostics and rebuild-level quality—remotely or on-site—with transparent budgets, high-performance standards, and room to advise VIP clients and scale operations through technical authority.

I’m a multilingual automotive technical consultant with 10+ years at the intersection of high-performance engineering and premium operations. I rebuild American V8, Porsche Boxer (air- and water-cooled), and Ferrari DOHC powerplants to OEM tolerances, and I deliver precision quality control with full budget transparency.

I scale results—growing monthly workshop revenue from USD 16,000 to USD 35,000+ in under one year, and generating USD 5,000–10,000 in monthly direct revenue by acquiring 50+ VIP clients. I also provide trusted VIP collector advisory, and I conduct pre-purchase appraisals (in person and remotely) using structured video/photo documentation, mechanical risk scoring, OEM component authenticity checks, and market value opinions.

My remote capabilities include structured pre-purchase technical appraisal and international OEM/performance parts sourcing, negotiated in English with US niche suppliers (USD 1,000–10,000 transactions). I’m equally comfortable as a technical authority—using Launch scanner protocol for OEM-grade diagnostics, tuning, and warranty-claim resolution—and as a content/editorial specialist for auction and dealer platforms (Cars & Bids / Bring a Trailer format).
