It is my passion to discover, research, design, test and implement theory into practice. I am by nature a very enthusiastic creativity driven person, who always strives to make a difference.

As a freelance engineer, I have completed multiple assignments. One project was designing and building a sample spool machine for 3D-printing filament. This machine makes (semi) automatic small sample spools out of a large spool. With this machine I partly designed and build the machine and programmed the entire control system. I also did several small design and 3D print assignments.
At NTS-Norma we Develop, produce and assemble complete high precision mechatronic systems -Tooling design -5S implementation -Cleanroom assembly with the intention of process improvement -Assisting with a project to ramp up the production and expand the machine park -Improving assembly instructions
During my Short Term Internship at CERN I was part of the Superconducting magnet design and technology section. I worked on the development of the new generation of supper conductive accelerator magnets. During the winding process I fount out a problem with the cable tensioning system so I: Defined and designed a new machine for winding superconducting magnetic coils. Due to new features and a better design of the machine, the magnetic coil quality will increase and Less chance to damage the expensive superconducting cable because of a feedback system and safety systems. The machine will be easier to handle an will monitor the winding process. During the process I also designed, build and tested a prototype tension sensor together with a feedback system. This system is used in the actual winding process.
At Nikhef I've been working on developing a cooling system for electronics. These electronics will be placed in one of the detectors of the particle accelerator at CERN. I made thermodynamic calculations and simulations using hand calculations, Excel and the simulation program Comsol. I also submitted a out of the box concept, material selection and advice.
