About

With 7 months of experience as a Working Student at Elektro-Metall Export (EME), I am committed to advancing my expertise in automotive engineering. My skills in Python, OpenCV, and CAD tools such as SolidWorks and CATIA V5 support my contributions to the field. Previously, I gained 2.5 years of experience as a Senior Product Compliance Associate at Amazon, where I supported regulatory compliance initiatives, developed scalable workflows, and facilitated global training programs. My goal is to drive innovation in automotive engineering by leveraging my technical skills and passion for cutting-edge solutions.
