About
Fourth-year Mechatronics student at Saxion University of Applied Sciences in Enschede, driven to keep expanding my technical knowledge and to combine engineering with an eye for psychology, sustainability and the people who use what I build.
Mechatronics Engineer
From an early age I have been fascinated by technology and how devices work. I collaborate effectively in teams with a solution-oriented and proactive attitude.
- Languages: Dutch, English, French
- Driver's licence: A & B
My interests extend beyond pure engineering into psychology and sustainability, which I try to integrate into projects by considering human factors and societal impact.
Skills
A mix of mechanical design, simulation, control and programming tools I use across my projects. Levels are an indication of how comfortable I am with each.
