For heaven's sake who was the MRO management/QA people allowing such a person to be working on aircraft? Absolutely frightening for the paying customers and equally for the crew flying the aircraft!
I would assume that the certified the task himself if he was a Licensed Engineer. With regards to the screw up over the calculation, as the MRO seems to be based in Cyprus perhaps English was not his first language and the instructions in the AMM were not totally understood - it is a situation that I have seen numerous times overseas especially with Airbus manuals that seems to be written by a committee when compared to those from Boeing.
