I'm developing new biomaterials by combining nature and science to create technology platforms for quick and effective innovations.

I worked as a specialist of frame production. Alongside of daily production duties, I developed production methods and overall production process of the third product generation. I worked closely with logistics, research and development teams and occasionally took part to research projects.

I built and managed active greenwall frame production team while taking second generation product into production. I developed production methods and overall production process and I was responsible for quality. I worked closely with research and development team.

I did various production related tasks during company's fast growth phase. I worked in plant and frame production and also assembled green walls to customers and did maintenance work. I also did some small research and development projects.

I analysed chemical composition of spruce sawdust and did hot water extractions prior to Soda-AQ pulping tests. I also analysed properties of the pulp. I used gas chromatograph and mass spectrometer to measure carbohydrates and extractives from raw materials and hydroxide acids from black liquor.

I analysed chemical compositions of woodchips (raw material of pulping) and did how water extractions prior to pulping.

I worked in aluminium and zinc die casting company via labour hire company. Working there required very good physical condition, accuracy and responsibility (included handling hot melted aluminium). Achieving production targets required fast working pace.

I worked in a company that produces laminated log houses and other glue laminated timber. I worked mainly in the finger joint line. Working there required good physical strength, accuracy and responsibility.
