Field notes / profile
About
I am a student engineer based in Graz, Austria, with a strong focus on electrical engineering and mechatronics. I enjoy building practical systems where mechanical design, electronics, embedded control, and thoughtful product design come together. This portfolio is a record of that work: from small prototypes to more involved robotics, fabrication, and hardware-development experiments.
Areas of work
Engineering interests
I am particularly interested in robotics, embedded electronics, rapid prototyping, and the relationship between traditional engineering and satisfying product design. I like taking an idea from a first sketch or CAD model through fabrication, wiring, testing, and iteration.
Experience and education
Selected milestones
2026
Internship
TU Graz EMS
During an internship at TU Graz EMS, I designed and built a laser-driver using a Koheron laser driver and temperature controller. The work included electrical wiring, Fusion 360 design, milling modifications to an aluminium enclosure, and fabrication of custom laboratory cables. I also designed small snap-fit inserts for a laboratory drawer system to solve an existing problem with storing components
2025
Internship
FH JOANNEUM — T&T Aircraft Propulsion Systems
During a four-week internship, I gained insight into aerospace research and sustainable propulsion development. I completed an introductory MATLAB course and tested a water-pressure test bench used to simulate part of an aircraft hydrogen-fuel system.
2024
European Olympiad of Experimental Science
Physics Olympiad
I am involved in the Physics Olympiad and was nominated for the Austrian national team for the European Olympiad of Experimental Science.
2019–2027
Secondary education
Bischöfliches Gymnasium am Augustinum Graz
I am currently attending the Bischöfliches Gymnasium Augustinum in Graz and expect to graduate in 2027. To back my passion for engineering with academic knowledge early on, I completed the Experimental Physics I course at TU Graz alongside my regular classes. This allows me to actively combine a broad general education with early university-level STEM experience.
Personal note
How I got here
Engineering has been part of how I play and think for as long as I can remember. My first experience with robotics was a LEGO Mindstorms kit I got when I turned six: I loved first building the robots from scratch and then programming them. I also loved modifying and motorising the LEGO Technic builds I had. Later, a Raspberry Pi opened the door to simple IoT projects, while getting a 3D printer pushed me to learn Fusion 360 and turn ideas into more useful physical prototypes. That progression from curiosity, to making, to understanding still shapes the projects I create today.
