Technical Sales – Automation Machinery (Contramec Engineering Projects)
At Contramec Engineering Projects, I worked in technical sales specializing in automation machinery. My role involved bridging the gap between complex engineering solutions and client needs, where I provided expert guidance on customized automation systems and equipment. I worked closely with engineers and project managers, often reviewing and interpreting technical drawings and CAD designs, to ensure that proposed solutions matched the client’s operational requirements.
I was responsible for identifying client needs, preparing tailored proposals, and presenting automation machinery solutions that improved efficiency and productivity. Beyond sales, I also assisted with technical consultation, product demonstrations, and after-sales support, making sure the systems were successfully integrated into client operations.
This position allowed me to combine my technical knowledge, design background, and communication skills to deliver clear solutions that aligned with both engineering specifications and business goals.

Graphic Design
During my time at the 3D printing house, I combined my graphic design and 3D modeling skills with hands-on experience in additive manufacturing. I worked on preparing digital files, adapting client concepts, and creating visual mock-ups, technical drawings, and design assets that supported both functional prototyping and artistic projects. My role involved ensuring that every design translated seamlessly from screen to physical form, while maintaining precision, creativity, and attention to detail.
I also had the opportunity to collaborate with Marco Olivier, a world-renowned sculptor, where I contributed to the design and production process of his large-scale sculptures. This included preparing 3D visualizations, print-ready models, and graphic layouts, as well as assisting in the transition from digital design to tangible artwork. Working alongside such a distinguished artist allowed me to merge technical expertise with artistic expression, reinforcing my ability to adapt design skills across both commercial and creative fields.
