From a young age, I've been fascinated by how technology works. I took almost everything I could get my hands on apart, just to discover how it functioned, and then tried to put it back together without a hitch (much to my parents' frustration). This is how my understanding of how things really work grew. After my studies in Design and Production Technology, I switched to industrial engineering in electromechanics, where I supplemented my practical insight with a solid theoretical foundation.

Joining the Solar Team is my chance to turn that passion into concrete innovations, together with a group of like-minded engineers. In the coming year, as a mechanical engineer, I want to contribute to the development and implementation of cutting-edge technology and ensure that our solar car is efficiently designed down to the smallest detail. I believe that as a team we can not only push boundaries but also make a lasting impact by turning our ideas into reality. That's why this project is about more than just technology for me: it's about collaboration, innovation, and building a future that seems unattainable today.
