About Me

I'm a self taught full-stack developer and Mechanical Engineering student at TU/e in Eindhoven, with a strong focus on robotics, automation, and industrial systems. Over the past year I've built end-to-end projects ranging from PLC-based diagnostics tools in a factory setting, to web-integrated puzzle delivery systems for real users. Beyond engineering, currently training for my first marathon additionally I love to travel, hike and build things with smart people.

Products & Services

Here’s how I can help your business, projects or you right now.

🛠️

CAD Design & Robotics Engineering

I turn sketches into buildable solutions, whether that’s a house extension, a studio layout, or a precision assembly. Using SolidWorks, Siemens NX, and Simcenter, I create reliable models and simulations, and can ship physical prototypes with my Bambu A1 3D printer.
