About

After my studies at Slovak University of Technology where I graduated with M. Sc. degree in Electrical engineering, specialized in microelectronics, I began my first profesional experience at FAURECIA, producer of plastic injected components for automotive industry. As a Customer Quality Engineer at FAURECIA, I have deployed my knowledge in production processes, product quality and project execution. I have further developed my negotiation skills having an intensive contact with the customer and company internal stakeholders. Looking for an experience in my primal field of interest I have joined AMIT, producer PLCs. As a technical responsible for Slovak market I defined the technical solutions on both hardware and software level for various applications. Missing the aspects of internationally acting company I found my next employment at AREVA NP, company delivering solutions in nuclear energy field. After being part of software team for safety systems and system engineering team for emergency diesel generators, I took over the role of the instrumentation and controls engineering leader on Flamanville 3 nuclear power plant project. Managing the design, manufacturing and integration of safety instrumentation and controls systems (reactor protection, reactor control and limitation,..) in this role were thus my responsibilities from 2010 till 2015. After I have completed my mission within the Flamanville 3 project - successful delivery of Instrumentation and Controls platform to Flamanville 3 site, I started to look for next challenges at TTTech Computertechnik AG, a dynamically growing company in the field of network technologies. As a project manager I am in charge of the whole project delivering a solution for Time Sensitive Networking applications. Regarding my personality, I am a target oriented team player with leading skills. Adaptation on different work environments and different cultures as well, belongs to my assets.
