About

"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious." Ever since I was a child, I've nurtured a love for knowledge. This passion led me towards choosing engineering as my profession, which I perceive as the application of science in our daily lives. Both university and sports have taught me the significance of teamwork and sacrifice, always emphasizing creativity and passion for what I am doing. After completing my degree, I seized the opportunity to pursue a PhD in a field of immense interest and socioeconomic impact: the maintenance and development of transportation infrastructures. Since February, I decided to transfer my expertise in the field of infrastructure into the realm of entrepreneurship to make a tangible impact beyond research. This decision gave birth to Displaid, a startup aimed at revolutionizing bridge management through a standardized and scalable monitoring solution. At work and in my personal life, I am a strong advocate for social engagement, dialogue, and critical thinking.
