What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and allow me to lead impactful projects in dynamic environments.

I am a Senior Mechanical Engineer with 16 years of hands-on experience driving innovation across diverse industries. My journey has taken me from structured corporate environments at premier companies like Ferrari and OCME to the agility of high-growth startups such as Farmshelf and Robomagister. I excel in managing full product lifecycles—from concept to market launch—delivering robust solutions through advanced CAD applications and FEA/CFD analysis.

My proactive, 'get-things-done' approach allows me to thrive in fast-paced, cross-functional environments. I have a proven track record of designing smart consumer products with a strong focus on usability, manufacturability, and cost-efficiency. As a freelance consultant, I adapt quickly to diverse project needs and business models, ensuring that I provide innovative solutions that meet the demands of the market.
