What is your professional background?

During my undergraduate studies, I started as an engineering apprentice at a small company specializing in laser systems for biology and super-resolution microscopy. There, I designed a simulation bench for a company in the military sector, as well as a laser bench dedicated to studying the phenomenon of cavitation. I also participated in a study on the use of a DLP (Data Loss Prevention) system coupled with a square-core fiber, with applications in biological imaging and cinematic projection.

Subsequently, I joined a company specializing in the analysis of large-scale structures, where I held the position of optoelectronics technician. My responsibilities included installing sensors on various buildings and analyzing their behavior under thermal and mechanical stresses.

Finally, I joined Jenoptec NT, first as a technical assistant, before advancing to the position of sales engineer.
