About

Experience

  • Data & AI Product Owner at Hilti Group
    Apr 2026 - Present · 3 mos

  • Business & Data Analyst at SIG
    Oct 2025 - Mar 2026 · 6 mos

    • Developed internal data tools to streamline reporting and automate manual workflows, contributing to faster and more informed decision-making across the organization. • Worked closely with management to define KPIs and translate operational needs into actionable data products.

  • Software Engineer at Virtual Traffic Lights
    Sep 2023 - Sep 2024 · 1 yr 1 mo

    • Built and tested a traffic simulation environment (SUMO + TraCI) to assess VTL’s software performance before field deployment. Designed realistic traffic scenarios and evaluated system behavior across different conditions to support data-driven decision-making. • Developed key features for VTL’s field-trial mobile app, including log-recovery tools and a map-based interface. These functionalities improved data collection, real-time monitoring, and overall reliability during live tests of the technology.

  • ML Research Assistant at Design Research Collective
    Aug 2023 - Jun 2024 · 11 mos

    • Collaborated with a Carnegie Mellon research team to analyze lattice structures in additive manufacturing, contributing to two published papers. Compared multiple lattice-design software tools using standardized mechanical components to provide an objective performance assessment. • Led empirical research applying machine-learning methods to evaluate how multi-lattice components behave under compression. Helped generate insights to guide future design choices and improve AM component performance.

  • Mechanical engineer at EPFL Rocket Team
    Aug 2022 - Jul 2023 · 1 yr

    • Worked as an R&D mechanical engineer on a project to design and manufacture a self-landing rocket. Used advanced SolidWorks modeling and Python-based simulations to support component design and system validation.
