Industrial designer and product engineer at Kreinta, designing an IP67 IoT datalogger now in pilot production.

At Kreinta, I design and engineer electronic and non-electronic products for international clients, taking work from concept through prototyping to manufacturing-ready specifications. For LOGR4, an IP67-sealed IoT datalogger for In-Terra, I lead the mechanical design and integration of the enclosure, PCBs, solar panel, and battery; its pilot batch was under production in October 2026.

At VF Ingénierie Sàrl, I led product development and engineering for Swiss startups and SMEs. My featured projects included the biped.ai NOA wearable, which was produced and commercialized, and Equip MultiSport Station, where I led product engineering from version 2.0; I also worked on medical furniture systems and equipment at Smith Falchetti Image & Space Solutions C.A.
