About Me
I graduated with a bachelor's degree in geography and planning from the University of Nantes and a master's degree in geography specializing in spatial analysis of the environment (GIS and remote sensing). I worked as a GIS engineer, project manager and operational manager of a large GIS web-app in Brussels.

On a daily basis, I mainly use open-source technologies: duo QGis, postgre/postGIS as well as FME. I also have experience with Oracle Spatial, ArcGIS, MapInfo.

I suggest you develop your practical and theoretical GIS knowledge in preparation for exams, for specific assignments or as part of professional training.

Engineering and design become much easier when analysis, geometry, technical representation, digital modelling, spatial reasoning, and visual communication are connected within one coherent problem-solving process.

I am a PhD-qualified engineer, university professor, researcher, technical trainer, designer, and multidisciplinary consultant with more than 30 years of experience across engineering, teaching, project work, CAD, technical drawing, 3D modelling, GIS, visualization, information systems, and professional problem solving.

This class provides a personalized pathway for school and university students, engineering and design learners, architects and technicians, researchers, professionals, career changers, and adult learners. Depending on your goals, we can focus deeply on one specialized area or connect several areas within a complete technical workflow.

ENGINEERING DESIGN & PROBLEM SOLVING
• Understanding and structuring engineering problems
• Translating requirements into technical objectives
• Identifying constraints, assumptions, variables, and criteria
• Engineering calculations and quantitative reasoning

Depending on your objectives, practical work may involve AutoCAD, Revit, BIM workflows, Rhino, Grasshopper, SolidWorks, Inventor, 3ds Max, ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, or other relevant technical and design tools.

My teaching approach follows a structured workflow:
define the problem → understand the requirements → analyze the constraints → develop the geometry or data structure → create the drawing, model, or spatial analysis → verify accuracy → refine the solution → communicate it clearly

I do not simply demonstrate isolated commands. I help you understand why a workflow is appropriate, how information should be structured, how accuracy can be verified, how alternative solutions can be evaluated, and how the final technical idea should be communicated professionally.

We can work with your course syllabus, engineering problem, technical drawing, CAD file, Revit/BIM model, 3D model, parametric definition, GIS dataset, map, design project, portfolio, graphic layout, or professional workflow challenge.

Whether you are learning your first CAD commands, solving an engineering problem, developing a BIM workflow, building a 3D or parametric model, conducting spatial analysis, or improving technical visual communication, I will adapt the sessions to your level, objectives, and pace.

My goal is to help you become an independent technical problem solver who can analyze, design, model, verify, visualize, and communicate solutions with confidence.
