Thinking in Principles

Passion 

Gears are more than machine elements to me. They are where physics turned elegance and where a few microns of optimization turns a good design into a great one. 

I believe knowledge given is knowledge multiplied. I have trained hundreds of engineers across Asia and Europe, written a good number of technical and informative papers, and helped improve ISO standards the gear industry calculates by. 

Not only to build a reputatio, but because passing on what I know is simply part of the work.

Independence is not a business model. It is my conviction. A bridge between service provider and customer only holds if both sides trust the person standing for it. That is the work I care about.


Experience

I work on machine elements where theory meets consequence: Gears, bearings, systems that must not fail. 

With education from ETH and NUS, I began in FEM analysis and moved into design and optimization of geared systems, from 1 mm plastic gears to 3.5 m bearings.

Over 30 years, I’ve worked across concept design to failure analysis, simulation to physical validation and ideal models to real world uncertainty.

I’ve led projects from €400 validations to multi million € systems. Clients trust me to deliver clarity, by combining engineering judgment with deep analysis.

If your system operates close to limits, we should talk. 

Clarity

Most engineering problems arrive as fog. Unclear symptoms, competing theories, no agreed question. Getting to the right question is often harder than solving it. I ask what others skip. I strip away what doesn't matter. And I explain what remains in a way the client can act on, because only analysis that is understood has value.

People who have worked with me, from professors to plant managers, say the same thing: I target the core of every issue. My goal is to make clients understand their problem so well they no longer need me. 

That is why they come back.
