About me

I am completing my Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Electromechanical Engineering) at KU Leuven, and from September 2026 I will continue with an MSc in Electromechanical Engineering Technology, specialising in Advanced Robotics. My interest sits where mechanics, electronics and control meet: designing machines, then making them move, sense and run on their own.
Along the way I have built up hands-on experience in CAD and mechanical design (Siemens NX), motion simulation and digital twins (NX MCD), structural analysis (NX FEM, finite element and finite volume methods), and industrial automation and PLC programming (TIA Portal, PLCSIM Advanced). I also program in Python, Java and MATLAB.

I am a fast learner, creative, friendly, communicative, problem solver, critical thinker, and curious.
