Master's thesis on UV laser micromachining of polystyrene, running until 12/2026. - Plan and run parameter studies on a UV laser system using Design of Experiments (DoE). - Measure ablation and cut quality with confocal microscopy and image analysis. - Built a multiphysics model of laser ablation in COMSOL.

I kept high-volume corrugated packaging lines running: maintenance, spare parts, and acceptance tests for new machines. - Cut unplanned downtime by 15% by tracing recurring breakdowns to their root cause instead of fixing symptoms. - Reverse-engineered imported machine components and had them made by local suppliers. Procurement lead time dropped by 3 weeks. - Improved maintenance response time by 20% by organizing supplier contact and spare-parts stock. - Ran factory acceptance tests and pre-dispatch i

QA testing and AutoCAD/Solid Edge drafting for hydraulic assemblies.
