Mechanical Engineer @ GOGOA

About

I am a Mechanical Engineer specialized in prosthetic devices and wearable technologies, experienced in following the design process of a product along al the phases of development, from concept and design to prototyping, testing and final documentation. During my career, I have built a strong background in mechanical engineering and multidisciplinar experiences, across robotics, industrial automations, medical device and research. working on different projects I collected experience in design with composite materials and FEA simulations. I worked in multidisciplicary and multicultural environments, allowing me to absorb expertise in biomechanics, electronic and control system.My goal is to apply my skills to projects that can benefit a multitude of people and improve their quality of life.
