SUMMARY
I’m a sociable, open and ambitious person. Efficient time management, organization and stress-resistance were
necessary throughout my student career in order to succeed in engineering, pursue a sportive lifestyle and upkeep my
social endeavors. Furthermore, I was active as a gymnastic and surfing teacher since I enjoy to actively motivate and
train people to reach a certain goal. Currently I’m active in product design and manufacturing by using a 3D printer
and CNC machines for personal projects.
A year abroad in a top ranked university boosted my passion about innovation in the biomedical industry, shifted my
ambition towards an international oriented career and allowed me to work on numerous projects concerning cutting
edge technology. Furthermore, I am specialized and interested in medical devices, biomechanics, computational
modeling, biomedical imaging and neuroengineering through elective courses, projects and my master dissertation. A
general high grade, highest distinction for my thesis and relevant work experience strengthens my competences as a
valuable junior engineer.
CAREER OBJECTIVE
Looking for a challenging position in an international, innovative and growth-oriented company. Expecting to utilize
both technical and social skills in a motivating and ambitious work environment. Hoping to gather a lot of knowledge
and experience whilst continuously providing a significant contribution to the company.
