Skills & Personal Achievements
I have worked in fields such as robotics, medical engineering, digital systems design, and autonomous driving, where I was able to gather a wide range of experience in engineering and software development.
A sound mathematical background, analytical thinking, and solid programming skills form the basis for my work. Beyond the daily office routine, I like to challenge myself personally while working part-time as a paramedic.
