- Investigated production issues and field claims in automotive radar sensors, using RCA to isolate faults across hardware, firmware, and communication interfaces - Designed test setups (oscilloscopes, DMMs, spectrum analyzers) and debugged CAN/SPI/PWM protocols at PCB level - Applied 8D methodology, developed failure mode statistics (Power BI, Impala/SQL), and conducted risk assessments as technical link between R&D, quality, and production.

- Managed end-to-end engineering projects in electrical infrastructure and automation, aligned with specifications, timelines, and budget. - Coordinated field commissioning and on-site acceptance testing, supporting PLC communication (EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet) and validating control system functionality during production-line startup. - Built a proof-of-concept ML model (Azure ML Studio) predicting optimal process adjustments, reducing manual effort and downtime.

- Research and develop home automation equipment such as curtain and lighting actuators. - Conduct component research, schematic design, prototyping, and microcontroller programming for smart devices.

- Technical support for System-on-Module (SoM) solutions, ensuring optimal integration and performance - Collaborated with the Swiss R&D team - Built a Smart Meter demo on a Colibri VF50 SoM, streaming sensor data to Azure IoT Hub and visualizing it in Power BI

Master Thesis: Machine learning applied in robot soccer game identifi cation. Developed a trajectory prediction tool for multi-agent robotic systems (robot soccer), applying state machine modeling and neural networks to classify and forecast movement patterns using robot soccer datasets

Bachelor Thesis: Smart Meter – An IoT Approach. Engineered an IoT-based energy monitoring system on a Colibri VF50 SoM, capturing real-time current data and visualizing it via Power BI
