simulation
I've lived in
both worlds.
I started out in small local firms in southern Spain, where "analysis" often meant guessing — and when a part failed, the fix was simply to make it bigger. I watched capable teams waste time, money and motivation, not for lack of talent, but for lack of the right tools and people. That pushed me to leave my hometown and look further.
After a lot of effort I was hired at CERN, where I spent five years designing components for future particle colliders — thermal shielding, cryogenics, vacuum and radiation environments — learning hands-on FEA and CFD alongside some of the best engineers in the world. There, simulation wasn't optional: it was how you innovate without risk.
Today I work in the clean aerospace industry, virtually testing aircraft components, batteries, motors and control units before they're ever built — extreme vibration, high G-forces, overheating. The best part is when the real-world test matches the simulation, and a problem is solved before it ever leaves the screen.
Then I realised the small and mid-sized manufacturers I came from had exactly the same problems — and almost none of the access. That gap is Sim4Tech — my virtual home, where I work hard every day to close it.
