... who am I ?
After studying materials science, I graduated in 2011 from Southampton University. This theoritical engineering knowledge was completed with experimental projects, using sometimes university's towing tank and wind tunnel. These four years forged me with adaptation capabilities to various scientific fields and cultures.
Once graduated, I joined Chantier Allais shipyard, specialized in aluminum crewboats fabrication and I got closer to shipbuilding industrial problematics . Integrating all manufacturing and design know-how, this shipyard allowed me to explore a wide range of skills from equipment management in an ERP to cutting and folding files edition.
With two years abroad I confronted multiple working methods while continuing to design aluminum crewboats. Within Camarc, I applied engineering methods to structure dimensioning or piping development for a 45m “Fast Supply Offshore Vessel”.
In 2016 I joined CLYD and completely adopt naval architecture firm organizational specificities. Quickly, I was involved in a 50 PAX passenger boat development through regulatory, stability and manufacturing steps. These boats, made with composite materials by CNB Pro shipyard, were also adapted to river regulations and serve now as Bordeaux waterbuses.
With CLYD, I got closer to production by integrating Couach shipyard industrialization teams for three yachts (from 11m to 20m) development and fabrication monitoring. Rich in layup drawings and onboard measurements, these fews months deepen my GRP design knowledge.
In addition, I participated in the choice and purchasing nomenclatures of product for ECLA boats developed and built by CLYD. These classic 9m motorboats also familiarized me with subcontractors management and planning monitoring.
I used my experience to organize a complete refit for M/Y-SUNLINER-X 37m yacht, a project which lasted only nine months and required all fields subcontractors mobilization.
To optimize production times, I developed a design methods based on 3D scans. By prefabricating most of new engines piping and structures, onboard assembly times were significantly reduced.
By participating in the design of the HYNOVA-40, I got involved in the development of an innovative prototype with a fuel cell produced propulsive energy. In addition to its leisure approval, this boat was a source of challenges from the sizing and integration of engine peripherals to regulatory risk analysis.
With 10 years of technical expertise and noticing the fluctuating workloads of design offices depending on the projects, I founded Naval Engineering Services in early 2022 to offer a responsive naval engineering subcontracting service.
The concept: providing naval engineering studies or hours of engineering work in a flexible manner, either by using the client’s methods and tools or by offering a range of tailored tools and solutions.
Always keeping up with the latest innovations through regular training and active participation in industry trade shows, our services remain aligned with the latest developments in the sector.
With over 50 projects completed for about ten design offices, NES has established itself as a trusted solution to meet the growing need for subcontracting.
