What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a stable, long-term opportunity with a company where I can build a career and continue growing professionally. As I transition to living overseas, consistency and job security are important to me, but I’m equally focused on finding a company where I can take on more responsibility, develop new skills, and work my way into higher-level roles over time.

I’m an engineering professional currently working at Tesla, where I support new product introduction, manufacturing processes, technical problem-solving, and cross-functional projects in a fast-paced environment.

Outside of my engineering career, I’m a professional photographer with a passion for capturing landscapes, travel, and meaningful experiences. I’m also an avid hiker and have completed three of the five most challenging summits in North America.

Personal growth is a major part of my life as well. I practice meditation every day and value mindfulness, curiosity, adaptability, and continually pushing myself outside of my comfort zone.

I’m now looking to bring that combination of technical experience, creativity, discipline, and problem-solving into a remote role where I can contribute to a great team while continuing to grow personally and professionally.
