A business mind
built on an engineering foundation.

I am a Master Business Administration student with a background in Business Engineering and a minor in Data Science. What connects my academic and professional experience is a strong interest in how organizations work in practice. I am naturally analytical, but I also like working with people, understanding operational reality, and turning complexity into something structured and useful.

Professional profile

How I work, in three short paragraphs.

Before starting this master, I built experience in technical, operational, and business oriented environments. I worked on software related tasks, logistics processes, reporting, engineering support, and project based assignments. That gave me a practical foundation and taught me how important it is to stay adaptable, communicate clearly, and keep an overview when different interests and systems come together.

What I bring is a combination of technical literacy, structured thinking, and a practical mindset. Over time, I have become more aware that good decisions are rarely only technical or only financial. They are usually shaped by people, strategy, incentives, uncertainty, and execution. That realization is one of the reasons this master fits me well.

Strengths

I would describe myself as social, motivated, and flexible. I work in a focused way and I like understanding the full picture before jumping to conclusions. My technical background helps me understand processes quickly, but I also value communication, teamwork, and staying grounded in what is realistic.
