Willingness to learn

I am keen to develop my understanding and acquire new skills through employment.

 

Problem solving

I have the ability to solve problems, tested with continuous problem solving exercises given as assessments, which may require mathematical analysis and evaluation.

​

Computer skills

Optimal knowledge and experience of Windows 7, MS Office, Mac OS, iWork ’09, Photoshop, Illustrator, SolidWorks, AutoCAD.

Good knowledge and experiences of CATIA V5 R20, Scilab, Mesh Generator, Tecplot, Matlab, Simulink

​

Organizational Skills

Capacity to work in a team as well as independently, with minimal direct supervision or encouragements. Excellent time management skills: capacity to set priorities and to deal with strict deadlines and time demands in a high pressure working environment. Creative problem solving approach and high flexibility: ability to cope with unexpected difficulties and circumstances.

​

Interests and Hobbies

I am curious by nature and I always try to understand the world that surrounds me by travelling and reading. I like travels with as little planning as possible because they let me live the pleasure of discovery and adventure. I like reading and my favorite ones are science fiction (above all Isaac Asimov).

I like sports and I play football and tennis, as well as beach tennis, foot  volley  and swimming.

I made several prototypes using 3D Printer and airbrush painting.
