Summary

After many years of serving in all engineering ranks on bulk carriers, I currently hold the position of Chief Engineer — the highest rank I can attain in my current company. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience with a wide range of mechanical, electrical, and digital systems onboard ships. I have worked in depth with both electronic and conventional main engines, diesel generators, and auxiliary systems. In addition, I have solid experience in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. As part of my responsibilities, I was actively involved in job planning, crew management, and providing not only technical supervision but also psychological support to the team when needed. One of the aspects I enjoy most in my work is facing non-standard problems — issues that are not immediately obvious — and challenging myself to find effective solutions. Although I take great pride in what I do, I am now seeking to take on new challenges and push myself further in order to continue growing both personally and professionally.
