01Profile

I am a design engineer with hands-on manufacturing experience. I design machine tools, buildings and structures, and assemblies and components for watercraft, light boats and yachts. I have built machine tools myself and built my own production buildings — so I design with a clear view of how each part will be made, assembled and maintained.

My background reaches beyond mechanics: polymer chemistry (polymers, composites, rubbers) and fiberglass work, cold metalworking, radio and power electronics, metrology and optical inspection systems, microcontrollers and CNC controls. I am looking for projects in yacht and small-craft design, shipbuilding, marine and aviation drones, and machine design and manufacturing.

03Projects

CNC machine — from CAD to metal

My own CNC milling machine: several layout iterations in CAD, a tool magazine, then machining the parts, assembly, wiring and start-up in the workshop.

CADDesign & renders

Early design iteration — gantry, linear guides and rotary table Front view of the early layout Detail: linear guide mounting on the column Steel frame version — overall layout Gantry and column from above Top view of the working zone Front view with stand Refined version with grid table Three-quarter view Working zone and rotary fixture Axis drive and guide detail Disc tool magazine Spindle, table and tool magazine Tool magazine under the table Assembly render — spindle, magazine and rotary axis

MetalManufacturing & assembly

Servo drives being wired Machined bearing housing Bearing housings Machined aluminium brackets Motor and bearing mounts Faced mounting plates Ball screw supports on the base Assembled machine Working zone, front view Electrical cabinet: servo drives Spindle head Control software running Machine in the workshop Gantry, spindle and control station Checking axis travel

Own workshop construction

A steel-frame production building — from the pile foundation and frame erection to panel cladding, the concrete floor and the finished building.

Pile driving for the foundation Piling rig on site Foundation elements delivered Steel frame going up Frame erection Crane installation of the frame Roof trusses Lifting wall panels Cladding the frame with panels Floor slab reinforcement Concrete floor Closed shell, interior Finished interior Finished building Entrance glazing
