ABOUT HELICON CONSULTING
Independent engineering consulting.
Helicon Consulting is my engineering practice. I work directly with clients on CFD, mechanical and thermal analysis, product design and reverse engineering.

Professional profile on LinkedIn ↗
M.Sc. Aeronautical Engineering
University of Zagreb, Croatia
I work on fluid flow, numerical simulation, mechanical design and reconstruction of parts from physical geometry.
Before starting independent consulting in 2020, I worked in development engineering. My projects have covered aircraft, vehicles, industrial equipment, ventilation, transport environments and mechanical components.
I agree on the engineering question before starting a study, document the assumptions and model setup, and report the findings together with their limitations.
