Message

At Q&A Innovations S.L., I develop and execute interdisciplinary engineering solutions, combining mechanical design and product development with hands-on implementation. My work spans agriculture, special machinery, solar energy, infrastructure, and custom-built installations.

Previously, I developed power tool systems at Hilti Group, focusing on structural design, drivetrains, and gearbox solutions through series maturity. At MAHA Maschinenbau Haldenwang GmbH & Co. KG, I coordinated development projects from concept to series production and led the DAkkS-accredited calibration laboratory.
