Who I am

Mechanical engineer: CAD, virtual manufacturing and condition monitoring.

I’m a mechanical engineer from Rosenheim. As a working student in vehicle integration at BMW (04/2024–04/2025) I ran virtual contact-point and clash analyses on full-vehicle assemblies in CATIA V5.

In my Master’s at TH Rosenheim I planned a virtual CNC/CAM process for an SS316L valve body in Siemens NX CAM. My thesis (grade 1.3) is a vibration condition-monitoring prototype for a CNC machine, built in Python and tested on a healthy machine with one sensor.

I’m looking for a design or development role in Germany or Austria.
