A passion for precision and a thorough understanding of applied technologies lie at the heart of every structural engineer’s work. In a field where even the smallest errors can lead to serious consequences, precision becomes an indispensable element at every stage of design and execution. It is not merely a matter of mastering tools or complying with standards, but a deep awareness of how individual components and technologies interact to create a structure that is durable, safe, and functional.

Career

I have worked for some of the largest corporations in Europe, delivering projects for companies listed in the Fortune 500. As a former Chief Engineer at Stow and Whittan, I gained comprehensive expertise in structural connection systems and solutions. While working for Warren Buffett’s company, MITEK, as Chief Engineer responsible for Europe and the United Kingdom, I developed an in-depth understanding of top-tier building technologies.

As Lead Engineer for the Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant megaproject, I was involved in all aspects of work within a high-security environment, including strict data confidentiality requirements. In addition, I have designed construction cranes, industrial machinery, and large-scale industrial and commercial complexes. My portfolio includes not only some of the world’s most renowned international airports, but also the largest logistics hubs in Europe.

Qualifications (EU)

I completed my studies in underground construction in Poland, and subsequently, while working for the Ramada/Storax/Stow Group, I began studies at the Technical University of Madrid, focusing on FEM/FEA technology for the analysis of mechanical-structural systems and materials using ANSYS Multiphysics. Combining this with supervisory responsibilities in the structural construction laboratory at RAMADA Corporation, I acquired top-level structural analysis skills.

Furthermore, I am a registered professional structural engineer at the expert level across all European Union countries and North America under ECAS EC EUROPA EX2024D984215. I also hold nearly the highest level of public trust (Security Clearance) in the United Kingdom, enabling me to work on any project without professional or territorial restrictions.

What to ask for?

It is completely natural to have questions about the project. Both before work begins and during construction, you are welcome to contact me directly. I prefer to communicate with clients via video conferences, and I have no objection to recording the meetings or taking notes.

Each phase of the project comes with instructions that guide you step by step on how to assemble the house. It is neither complicated nor physically too demanding. As you might expect, there may be situations where some construction information is described inaccurately or ambiguously. In such cases, please get in touch, I am confident that together we can find the simplest way to resolve any issue. My goal is to make the construction process as transparent and comfortable for you as possible.
