Working in industrial automation, serving high-profile clients including Petrogas, Cargill, ESA, and Mammoet. My role spans the full project lifecycle — from consulting with clients to understand their operational needs, to designing hardware and software solutions, building simulations, and implementing systems on-site.
Developed a commercial demo of Desigo Optic — Siemens' building management platform. Researched customer expectations of the platform, then designed and built a reusable template enabling customers to configure their buildings faster and more efficiently. Every design decision was future-proofed for scalability and adaptability.
Immersed myself in HVAC technology, building a thorough understanding of its principles and applications. Designed and realized a working HVAC system from the ground up. As the capstone, developed a simulation of a multi-building complex that served as the foundation for my graduation project.
Analyzed an existing operational system to identify cost-saving opportunities. Conducted a technical and financial analysis, then took full ownership of the implementation — designing, testing, and deploying the solution from concept to production, ultimately achieving a 30% cost reduction.
Managed the full budget of an 8-day festival for the 25th Lustrum of K.S.V. Sanctus Virgilius, with 40,000 tickets sold across 7 days. Also led the entire build-up crew and held end-to-end operational responsibility during the festival.
