Featured work
From geometry to experimental validation.
My student research project investigated how thermal post-processing influences particle-damping structures manufactured using laser powder bed fusion. The work combined CAD development, Scalmalloy specimens, vibration testing, X-ray CT evaluation and MATLAB-based signal analysis.
The public portfolio presents a non-confidential overview using independently created demonstration visuals.

February 2021 – March 2024
Before beginning my master's degree, I worked on production software for web and mobile applications. This experience developed my ability to structure complex problems, collaborate across disciplines and build reliable technical solutions.
I now apply the same structured approach to experimental data, engineering analysis and software-supported manufacturing workflows.
View my professional backgroundProduct development
Developed and maintained production web and mobile applications using React, Next.js, React Native, JavaScript and TypeScript.
Team collaboration
Worked with designers, backend developers, testers and other stakeholders in agile, cross-functional teams.
Mentoring
Supported junior developers through onboarding, technical guidance and practical problem-solving.
Education & background
An interdisciplinary engineering journey.
My background connects electrical engineering, professional software development and optical technologies. I am now building toward work involving additive-manufacturing design, physical experimentation and prototyping.
