I graduated in Naval Electromechanics at the "Mircea cel Bătrân" Naval Academy in Constanța, and I am continuing with a master's in naval electromechanical systems. Along the way I built a foundation in engineering principles, analytical thinking and technical discipline — the unglamorous part that decides whether a design survives contact with reality.

My core skill is 3D computer-aided design, with SolidWorks as my main instrument. For me, modelling is not drafting: it is a rigorous process of problem-solving. I like complex geometry, tight tolerances and the iterative work of optimising a mechanical component until it is genuinely manufacturable — engine parts, brackets, assemblies, piping.

In parallel I model and render in Blender and lay out piping and machinery spaces in CADMATIC. My diploma thesis covered a full marine steam plant — auxiliary boilers, exhaust gas economizers and the control philosophy behind them — from thermodynamic design through to alarms and protections, which is where my interest in turning technical documentation into working models began.

Academically I have been recognised at the Naval Academy's scientific sessions, and my technical drawing and infographics work was graded 10/10. Outside the drawing board, I keep my hands on real mechanics — I work on my own car, which is the fastest way I know to stay honest about how parts actually fit together.
