What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and project management in the maritime sector or other.

With over 16 years of experience as a Maritime Engineer, I specialize in marine vessels, tankers, and multi-purpose ships within the oil and gas industry. My background in naval mechanical engineering equips me with the skills necessary for monitoring and managing maintenance of ships and marine facilities. I pride myself on being proactive and hardworking, with diverse experience across various types of vessels and land project management.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led projects, including the creation of a maritime social network and innovative business solutions. My role as a Project Director at Capea.app involved integrating design and development to address community needs within the maritime sector. I am also a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and have extensive training in crisis management, leadership, and agile methodologies.

My commitment to safety and environmental awareness drives my work ethic. I am passionate about leveraging my technical expertise to contribute significantly to any organization. I am eager to continue my journey in project management and innovation within the maritime industry.
