About

I am a highly passionate, hands-on Mechanical Engineer who loves innovation and tackling new challenges. I enjoy turning ideas into tangible prototypes and solutions, especially in complex environments like clean rooms and IVD/MDR contexts.

My experience spans 3D printing (FDM and SLA) for prototyping and production, 3D design, ISO 13485, and supporting audits and certifications. I actively participate in 3D printing communities and enjoy collaborating with teams to develop production lines, jigs, and supplier sourcing to improve device manufacturability.
