Engineering across disciplines.

I work hands-on across the robotics and automation stack — from high-level TP programming on commercial platforms (UR, KUKA, ABB) to low-level control with ROS 2, MoveIt, and Gazebo — bridging applied industrial deployment and research-grade development.

In my current EngD work with the Fraunhofer Innovation Platform, I'm developing a robotic alternative to traditional, expensive, and time-consuming metal forming, coined as Roboforming Digital Twin. The core goal — using low-payload collaborative robots for fast, cost-effective prototyping and low-volume manufacturing — has already been achieved.

Advanced manufacturing overlaps deeply with the robotics and automation work above — but it carries its own logic of design-for-manufacturability, line integration, and additive prototyping. This section is dedicated to that side of my engineering practice.

In industrial settings, I designed parts and processes for automated X-ray inspection lines for the automotive and e-mobility sectors — with strict DFM compliance and full handoff from CAD to shop floor. I've also simulated assembly lines in Visual Components for early-stage line concepting, and used additive manufacturing to prototype custom end-effectors and fixtures.

A long-standing core of my engineering practice. Across these years I've worked across parametric and surface CAD, structural and thermal FEM, and CFD analysis — comfortable taking on any design problem and seeing it through from concept to validated solution.

My inspection work spans both prototype and production scales. During and after my master's studies, I worked on the design and development of a hydraulic engine test bench — covering mechanical design, instrumentation, and PLC-based data acquisition via NI cRIO and LabVIEW Real-Time. Then, I moved into industrial-scale inspection — designing high-resolution X-ray and CT systems for automotive components. I also contributed to xis.ai's market positioning of AI-driven defect detection across EU and US manufacturing sectors.
