Already at a young age fascinated by electrical engineering and electronics. It was a natural choice to study electrical engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology. During my studies, I worked as a freelancer in various disciplines related to electrical engineering. Developed a number of products during this period, applied in industrial automation. After completing the study, I joined the start-up of Applied Micro Electronics (AME), founded shortly before by two fellow students. A company with the objective of developing and producing high-quality electronic products.From the start of AME (3 people) responsible for the technology. In particular electronics design and product development. Responsible for the entire chain, from the translation of the customer demand to the industrialization of the end product. At a growing organization (250 people) further developed from independent developer to system architect in multidisciplinary teams, technology manager and MT member.
