Mechanical Engineering
I'm a mechanical engineering student at ETH Zurich with a strong interest in software, robotics, and technical side projects.
I enjoy building systems that combine mechanical design, electronics, and code: from astrophotography tools and data organization software to hands-on hardware projects. My work is driven by curiosity, practical problem solving, and the goal of turning technical ideas into working prototypes.
