Structural & Mechanical Design
Expertise in mechanism and kinematic design, steel and aluminium structural design, load calculations and engineering analysis, as well as drive system and hydraulic system design. Over 20 years of hands-on experience in precision mechanical design for aerospace-adjacent, scientific-adjacent, and architectural environments.
Precision & Glass-Structure Engineering
Specialisation in glass-dominant structural enclosures and high-precision mechanical systems. Proficiency in CE certification and safety compliance, including patented safety mechanism design for demanding international projects.
3D Modelling & CAD Software
Proficiency in SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, Rhinoceros 3D, and SolidWorks Visualize for full-cycle product development from feasibility study and 3D modelling through to production-ready technical documentation.
Project & Technical Leadership
Experience leading multidisciplinary engineering teams, including a 4-person and a 6-person development department. Responsibilities encompassing feasibility studies, concept design, procurement and manufacturing coordination, and installation and commissioning follow-up.
Full-Cycle Product Development
End-to-end product development from client brief and concept through to production documentation, covering design, manufacturing, testing, and on-site commissioning across international installations.
Procurement & Manufacturing Coordination
Coordination of procurement and manufacturing processes for complex technical projects, acting as the engineering point of contact through to commissioning and working closely with textile and control-system specialists.
Technical Documentation & Construction Drawing
Production of technical drawings and construction documentation using AutoCAD and Rhinoceros for residential and mixed-use building projects, translating architectural concepts into precise, buildable technical documentation.
AI Tools for Engineering & Business
Applied knowledge of AI tools for engineering, business, and productivity workflows, gained through the AI for Business training programme (2025/2026).

Project history
Structural and mechanism design of commercial shading systems from standard parasols to large-format architectural canopies exceeding 25x25m, with full responsibility for structural design, kinematic mechanisms, drive systems, and load calculations. Delivered engineering for international landmark projects including The Peninsula Hotel (Istanbul), Artemis Rooftop Terrace (Singapore), Woven Rope Canopy (Abu Dhabi), and King Abdulaziz Center (Saudi Arabia). Worked independently from concept feasibility through to production-ready technical documentation, coordinating with textile and control-system specialists. Remote position.
Designed visitor-facing structural systems for vertical wind tunnel installations, including glass-dominant flight chambers, safety net systems, waiting areas, and entry threshold mechanisms engineered to international standards including CE certification. Co-inventor of multiple patented safety solutions. Supported project delivery from design through manufacturing, testing, and on-site commissioning across installations in Indonesia, South Korea, Ukraine, China, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and the United Kingdom.
Produced technical drawings and construction documentation (AutoCAD, Rhinoceros) for residential and mixed-use building projects. Translated architectural concepts into precise, buildable technical documentation in collaboration with architects and engineers. Notable project: Nams Skarnu iela 11, Riga, a residential development in the historic Old Town.
