About me.

Over the past five years, I have been working as a chef to support my education, strengthening my communication, time management, and leadership skills. I have also gained hands-on experience in my second jobs as a farmhand and motorcycle mechanic, broadening my practical skills and problem-solving abilities. In my spare time, I work on my motorbike and personal projects, play logistics games such as Factorio, and enjoy travelling.

Interests

Engineering Projects

I'm extremely passionate about biomimetic engineering and have been working on designs for multiple ornithopters with novel actuation mechanisms for some time now. I also like to fly and build remote controlled airplanes and other drones.

Motorcycles

I enjoy going on motorcycle rides to new places with my girlfriend. I also like to do all the maintenance and mechanical work for both of our bikes.

Video Games

My favourite genre are sandbox and automation games like Factorio and Minecraft. I enjoy building large production pipelines to automate everything I can and achieving maximum efficiency.
