Summary

Due to my freelance work and many years of experience as a mechanical engineer and designer in special purpose machinery for custom machines (e.g. robotics, pick and place, packaging technology…), tooling, stamping dies, and production parts in stamping, forging, foundry, and assembly technology, I look forward to a future collaboration as a designer in your company.

My passion for technology has shaped my professional career. Through my successful qualification as a certified mechanical engineering technician, I have developed a strong understanding of taking a holistic view of complex processes, starting from your clients' products, through the mechanical engineering aspects, to the underlying physical principles. My strong spatial imagination gives me a clear sense of what is possible and of any potential risks. I draw my motivation and strong commitment from the satisfaction of seeing the finished component and a machine running smoothly. My way of working is goal-oriented, structured, hands-on, and pragmatic. I am known for my strong communication skills, motivational potential, sense of responsibility, and flexibility. For a mediating position, I bring the necessary sensitivity.
