About

With extensive experience as an engineer and deckhand on various vessels, ranging from 24m to 66m in length, I possess a strong mechanical and maintenance background. My expertise includes engine maintenance, valve replacement, electrical installations, plumbing, and deck upkeep. I've worked on multiple projects, including a 37m vessel where I managed engine room tasks, tank cleaning, and system replacements. I'm a versatile and hands-on individual with a proven track record of delivering results in fast-paced environments. I'm excited to bring my skills and experience to a new role and contribute to a dynamic team
