Mechanical Engineering

I'm a mechanical engineering student at ETH Zurich interested in mechanical design, robotics and software.

I like working on projects where mechanics, electronics and code come together. This includes things like astrophotography software, autonomous robots, RC helicopters and other technical side projects. I enjoy understanding how systems work in detail and turning ideas into working prototypes.
