Specializing in real-time control systems, automation, and embedded systems

About Me

I'm a passionate Software Engineer with a focus on building innovative and high-impact solutions in real-time control systems and automation. I've had the privilege of contributing to groundbreaking projects, including at CERN, where I worked on the particle accelerator beam transfer systems, precision motor control for medical accelerators, and systems that significantly improved LHC operational efficiency.

Currently, I'm working at ADVANTICS, where I develop automated testing solutions for EV charge controllers and power modules, utilize cloud infrastructures to manage production data, and integrate peripherals for EV chargers. My work is driven by a result-oriented approach, attention to detail, and constant learning.

I thrive in multidisciplinary environments, collaborating with experts from diverse fields, and I'm always excited to explore new technologies and tackle challenges. Beyond work, I've built award-winning projects and have a strong background in robotics, making technology my lifelong passion.
