Electronics engineer with a Bachelor's degree from SUPSI. I come first of all from a technical institute that trained me as an electronic technician specializing in automation — then I took on the challenge of becoming an electronic engineer. Dynamic and suited to teamwork, I develop projects of all kinds, especially around electronic engineering, design and process management. Previously I worked as an electronic engineer in the R&D team of FZsonick (Horien group) in Stabio, a manufacturer of molten salt batteries and ready-to-use storage systems. I currently work as an After-Sales Engineer at CENTIEL in Cadro, a company that designs and manufactures energy-efficient UPS systems for critical infrastructure.
