Design Engineer at AB2 Lab who automated validation for 10,000 asset variations, reducing production time by 93%.
RomaniaWhat I'm looking for
At AB2 Lab, I collaborate with engineering and industrial clients to translate technical briefs and product data into functionally and geometrically accurate digital models and visualizations. I developed a Python-based pipeline to automate, export, and validate 10,000 unique asset variations, reducing production time by 93%.
Previously, at Vizprime, I developed 3D assets to client engineering specifications and wrote Python scripts to optimize workflows. As a Design Engineer Intern at Autoliv Romania, I designed and iterated on a prototype, conducted FEA simulations, and supervised prototype manufacturing, assembly, and testing. I’m now winding down my freelance studio activity to commit fully to a stable employed role.
