Engineering the Energy Transition

Process and commissioning engineer with 8+ years spanning upstream oil & gas, academic research, and clean energy. Based in Montpellier, France — open to international opportunities.

My career connects two worlds: the rigor of oil & gas field operations and the innovation of the energy transition — CO₂ capture projects, biogas upgrading commissionings, and 5 years of fluid mechanics research in Grenoble.

I design clean energy systems with the operational discipline of someone who has worked under pressure in the field.
