About

Professional summary

I am an aspiring Business Information Technology student with technical experience as a Hardware Engineer in automation. As a vocational trainer and examination expert, I bring didactic skills to my work. Through further education in project management, security, and leadership, I am developing myself specifically towards system engineering and IT security. I am seeking an entry position in a dynamic ICT environment with a focus on security, network, and infrastructure.

Currently, I develop and optimize electromechanical components for high-precision automation systems, especially for use in linear axes, portal robots, and special machines. I analyze technical requirements and support the integration of safety-relevant control solutions. Prior to March 2024, I held this role as a junior.

In addition, I supervise apprentices in the professions of automation technician EFZ and automation mechanic EFZ, accompany their project work, and support the development of future-oriented vocational training within the company. My focus lies in promoting practical technical skills and safety awareness.

As an examination expert for automation technicians EFZ at the Cantonal Office for Secondary and Vocational Education (MBA) Bern since March 2024, I evaluate candidates' performances in qualification procedures, ensure fair and comprehensible examinations, and bring current professional practice into the assessment.

Previously, I worked as an insurance and pension advisor at Helvetia Versicherungen Solothurn from October 2021 to September 2022, advising private and business customers on retirement provision, risk coverage, and SME insurance solutions. This role allowed me to demonstrate my communication skills and analytical understanding in handling complex products.

My studies at Kalaidos University of Applied Sciences Switzerland provide me with expertise in IT architecture, process digitization, project management, and automation. My focus areas include the technical implementation of IT solutions, IT security, and the interface between technology and business processes.

I am fluent in German, English, and French, and enjoy rowing, skiing, traveling, managing a homelab, and playing hockey in my free time.
