I am an engineer, who thinks like a business.
I do more than just 'the work'.

My professional experience

01

Highschool Diploma

Finished HAVO (Nature & Technology) at Drachtster Lyceum. I was also part of the Advisory Board for hiring new staff. As my graduation project I handmade a pulse-jet engine together with my classmate which actually worked!

Bachelor of Engineering

I finished my first year in the top 10% of my year and won a design project competition with my team. I did my internship abroad and went to New Zealand to experience more than I could in my own environment. As part of my Minor I chose the specialization of Machine Design and I won the competition of the lightest bridge that could hold the most weight. Finished my studies with a thesis that was awarded an 8/10.

Start of career at Philips

I started as automation project engineer trying to automate current manual fabrication processes. After successful delivery of proof of concept I shifted to product industrialization engineer to work on the newest generation of shaver fabrication lines at Philips Drachten. Unfortunately I was part of employee cuts before the project came to fruition.

Multiple engineering companies

As continuation of my career I sought new opportunities at multiple engineering companies like Wadcon Automation and Royal BAM. Yet something was itching for me to reach something new; So I went and started my own company.
