About
I’m a Marine Engineer and former First/Second Engineer with an Unlimited CoC (STCW-compliant) and 10+ years at sea on oil/chemical tankers and passenger vessels. I bring a calm, hands-on approach to keeping propulsion and auxiliaries safe, efficient, and available. I’m experienced with MAN, Caterpillar and Daihatsu medium-speed engines; generators, HVAC, watermakers, hydraulics, fuel systems and electrical distribution. I run structured PMS/CMMS, maintain meticulous logbooks and inventory, and coordinate dry-dock and class/flag compliance. What sets me apart is troubleshooting under pressure, clear communication, and mentoring multicultural teams while keeping a tidy, guest-focused engine room and a strong safety culture (Crowd Management & Emergency Response). My goals are to join a professional yacht program where I can add immediate reliability, continue upskilling in automation/controls and condition-based maintenance, learn more about low-emission/alternative fuels, and progress to Chief Engineer. I’m committed to discretion, high service standards, sustainability, and continuous improvement.
Personal Details
Career Objective
My near-term goal is to join a professionally run motor yacht as Second Engineer (Unlimited CoC, STCW) where I can deliver high machinery uptime, reinforce a strong safety culture, and support guest operations with discretion. I bring 10+ years at sea on tankers and passenger vessels, with hands-on experience on MAN/Caterpillar/Daihatsu engines, generators, HVAC, hydraulics, fuel and electrical systems, and disciplined PMS/CMMS and class/flag compliance. Over the next 3–5 years I aim to deepen my skills in automation/controls, condition-based monitoring, and energy efficiency/alternative fuels; mentor junior crew; and progress to Chief Engineer. I thrive in multicultural teams, keep meticulous records, and take pride in a tidy, guest-ready engine room. I’m seeking a quality yacht program with clear standards, collaborative culture, and planned refit/yard periods.

Hobbies & Interests
I keep active with functional fitness and distance running, and I enjoy the water—open-water swims and occasional snorkeling. Off watch I like photography, DIY mechanics and small CAD projects, and reading about marine engineering and energy technology. I’m also working on my languages to communicate better with multicultural crews.
