Lead Naval Architect & Marine Engineer | Safety Engineer@TAEC Ltd
Verified
My work sits at the intersection of engineering rigor, regulatory alignment, and risk mitigation, where early technical intervention prevents high-impact failures, CAPEX escalation, and schedule delays throughout the project lifecycle.
I have a proven track record of protecting asset integrity and delivery certainty, including:
Green water risk mitigation for six Brazilian Pre-Salt FPSOs (P-66 to P-71) through advanced hydrodynamic reassessment and retesting, avoiding major structural, operational, and CAPEX exposure.
Identification and correction of critical hydrostatic and weight control deviations on a Polar Class vessel, preventing a minimum one-year delay to design approval, construction, and final delivery.
Detection and escalation of critical non-compliance in wind envelope studies for naval Frigates, leading to formal scope renegotiation and correction of flawed design assumptions.
I have led multidisciplinary engineering teams across FPSO hull conversions, commissioning phases, and design reviews, working directly with Classification Societies, Flag Administrations, and regulatory authorities to resolve complex technical and compliance challenges.
My background includes deep expertise in Rules & Regulations, statutory compliance, and regulatory engagement, with extensive interaction with Navy Authorities, Port Captains, Classification Societies, the National Petroleum Agency (ANP), and other governmental bodies.
