About Ousseni

Senior CATIA V5 designer
I model and design the parts, mechanical assemblies and complex systems you need, ready for manufacturing.
With 15 years of experience on large industrial and energy projects, I step in to support your design office whenever you need it: workload peaks, production surges, or one-off expertise. You get a profile that's immediately operational, with no training time or delay.
What sets me apart: a dual command of design + documentation, backed by 4 CATIA V5 certifications (Mechanical, Drafting, GSD, Equipment & Systems), and a habit of working in demanding environments with high thermomechanical constraints and strict documentation requirements.
What I can deliver for you:

3D modelling of parts and assemblies
Design of mechanical and structural systems
Piping and P&ID diagrams
Drafting, dimensioning and manufacturing files
Rework and reliability of existing models (reverse engineering, as-built)

I work remotely via secure VPN access to your CATIA / ENOVIA environment, respecting your standards and confidentiality. Native French, professional English (C1).
Whether for a few hours or a recurring assignment, I adapt to your specifications.
