About
My ever-growing curiosity and desire for constant learning set me on the path of officially becoming an IWSD, International Welded Structures Designer.
Consequently, the opportunity to dive into this controversial field of engineering enabled me to re-discover my passion for certain engineering aspects that I didn’t have a proper chance to deal with lately - among other things, deep understanding of (metallic) materials behaviour and computational engineering mechanics - all together packed in a purposeful design.
This disruptive step opened up a career thinking that is more aligned with both my personality traits and my professional curiosities - to deal more with science and its different aspects.
Working as a generalist in mechanical design, prior to my specialization, I had a chance to successfully come up with design concepts, work on detailed mechanical design solutions and co-operate in cross-functional teams through on-site and distance collaboration.
Get in touch to check whether I may be of help on your project or simply to exchange inspiration around engineering technology!
