Profile
Key experience
Qualifications
I have more than 10 years’ experience using finite element analysis in simulating and solving various engineering challenges.
I got experience in performing advanced FE analysis in several fields such as fatigue and fracture assessment, strength evaluation, dynamic analysis and computer aided design.
In addition to performing the analysis, have been involved in supporting, verifying and validation of the analyses and preparing the best practice methods.
In the last 5 years, regarding the project roles, I worked as a technical lead, project engineer and senior engineer.
I have been actively involved in business development and presenting company capabilities in seminars.
