Growing up with a fascination for speed, it was a dream come true to work with these renowned names.
• I also had the unique opportunity to witness the full lifecycle of innovation at startups like NIO (China), Lucid Motors, and SF Motors, where I experienced firsthand how ideas evolve from zero to full-scale production. These experiences allowed me to refine my skills honed at German OEMs and apply them in dynamic, fast-paced environments.
