Summary

Due to my freelance work and many years of experience as a mechanical engineer and design engineer in special machine construction for custom machines (e.g.: robotics, pick and place, packaging technology…), production equipment, stamping tools and production parts in stamping, forging, foundry and assembly technology, I look forward to future collaboration as a design engineer at your company.

My passion for technology has guided my career. Through my successful qualification as a mechanical engineering technician, I have a strong understanding of viewing complex processes as a whole—from your customers’ products through the mechanical engineering part to the physical principles. My vivid imagination gives me a clear sense of what’s possible and of potential risks. I draw my motivation and strong commitment from the pleasure of the finished part and the functioning machine. 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. I bring the necessary sensitivity for a mediating role. An international orientation of your company is no problem for me either.
