About

I am an ambitious, determined and flexible person who is eager to learn. I work thoroughly and am able to bring structure where there is none. I love tackling complex (theoretical) concepts/problems and translate these to real engineering solutions whilst distinguishing the essentials from the details in which I proceed result-oriented. I like to work in a challenging and diversified environment in order to get the best out of myself and to continuously develop further.
