Profile
I have a strong background in electrical engineering and industrial sensor technology. Because I was always passioned about software development, I studied computer science and then worked as a backend developer in multiple projects, for customers and internal stakeholders. Now I want to get back to my roots and work as an Embedded Software Engineer.
