Mechanical Engineer and Automation Specialist
I design precision mechanical systems and automate engineering workflows, from 3D CAD and FEA simulation to custom Python and VBA tooling. Founder of IngeTalent.
End-to-end mechanical engineering expertise, from 3D concept to simulation to automated production tools.
Full product design from concept to manufacturing-ready models. Advanced surfacing, multi-body assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings with GD&T.
Structural, modal, and thermal finite element analysis. Validate designs before prototyping, reduce cost, risk, and time to market with simulation-driven decisions.
Custom VBA macros and Python scripts that eliminate repetitive tasks, including BOM extraction, parametric design generation, DXF export, material assignment, and report workflows.
Technical project management, supplier coordination, design reviews, and full documentation. From specification to delivery across aerospace, energy, and manufacturing sectors.
Full Formula 1 racing helmet modeled using advanced SolidWorks surfacing: Surface Loft, Boundary Surface, Knit and Trim, Shell, Fillet, and Split Line. Includes visor, mouth piece, vents, spoiler, livery, full rendering and animation. Skills directly applicable to automotive, aerospace, and industrial product design.
Full-scale SolidWorks 3D model of the Diamond DA62, including fuselage, wings, tail, and landing gear. Advanced surfacing and assembly management for portfolio visualization.
Real client project: VBA macro and UserForm that auto-generates full balustrade assemblies from site measurements. Post spacing, glass panels, and heights update dynamically via Excel. Hours of manual work reduced to one click.
Automated Bill of Materials extraction from SolidWorks assemblies to structured Excel reports. Custom sorting by weldments, sheet metal, and standard parts with quantities, materials, and part numbers.
UserForm macro for RAL color assignment, feature hide/unhide, and custom property management. Two-way data exchange between SolidWorks and Excel via clipboard.
VBA macro with UserForm to manage a centralized custom material library for FEA prep. Reads from Excel, applies to parts and assemblies, previews Young's modulus, density, and Poisson's ratio.
Stress and deformation simulation with Von Mises maps, safety factor verification, and mesh convergence study. Validated on industrial components.
Natural frequency and vibration mode shape study. Identify resonance risks and optimize structural geometry for dynamic loading conditions.
Reusable APDL scripts for automated FEA pipelines, including parametric mesh, load cases, batch solving, and post-processing result extraction without manual input.
Analysis of EU and national government subsidy programs for green industrial projects. Structured database and executive report highlighting top opportunities for SMEs in renewable energy, sustainable mobility, and eco-manufacturing.
Assessment of digitalization, automation, and last-mile delivery trends in French logistics benchmarked against European best practices. Expert interviews and case studies of leading French companies.
Survey-based analysis of customer satisfaction, pain points, and service expectations across Wallonia. Strategic roadmap delivered for improving customer loyalty programs and response quality.

I am a Mechanical Engineer with a rare combination of hands-on design expertise and programming capability. I have worked across aerospace, manufacturing, and renewable energy sectors in France, China, Poland, and Senegal.
What sets me apart: I do not just design. I automate the design process itself. My SolidWorks VBA macros and Python tools have saved clients hours of manual work weekly, turning repetitive tasks like BOM extraction, DXF export, material assignment, and parametric design into one-click operations.
Through IngeTalent, I work with companies needing rigorous engineering delivered fast and right, whether that is CAD modeling, FEA simulation, or custom automation tooling.
Engineering roles across multiple industries and international environments.
Freelance mechanical engineering consultancy delivering CAD design, FEA simulation, and workflow automation. Key deliverables include a SolidWorks VBA macro suite covering BOM export, RAL color management, material library, balcony design automation, and DXF export, as well as ANSYS simulation studies for industrial clients.
Contributed to industrial engineering projects within one of the world's largest beverage manufacturers. Coordinated cross-functional teams on production line improvements, managed technical documentation, tracked project milestones, and supported process optimization initiatives across manufacturing operations in France.
Led market research and business development initiatives for an early-stage startup operating between France and Senegal. Conducted studies on sustainable subsidies, logistics performance, and customer experience strategy, combining analytical rigor with entrepreneurial execution.
Worked on mechanical design and prototyping projects at one of China's leading research institutions. Developed 3D models and technical drawings, contributed to design validation processes, and collaborated with multidisciplinary research teams on applied engineering problems in an international academic environment.
Whether you need a complex FEA study, a precision CAD model, a custom SolidWorks automation tool, or a full-time engineer, I bring rigorous engineering to every project.
