About Me
Mechanical Engineer specialized in welded structures and industrial quality, with over 15 years of experience in inspection, supervision, and technical project management. I operate in complex environments—such as nuclear, offshore, and heavy industry—where I implement practical solutions to improve manufacturing processes, strengthen regulatory compliance, and enhance overall performance. I bring recognized expertise in supervising technical installations and combating industrial fraud (CFSI), supporting demanding projects both in France and internationally.
