About Sebastian

Through my combination of a vocational training as an industrial mechatronics technician, my degree as an engineer in mechatronics, and my MBA&Eng, I combine practical manufacturing understanding with technical and economic systems thinking. This allows me to view development projects not only from a design perspective but also in terms of cost-effectiveness, scalability, and time-to-market.

I work consistently with a practical and manufacturing-oriented approach, while also possessing the ability to strategically evaluate technical solutions and translate them into economically viable product and process structures. Additionally, I have experience in fluid mechanics (CFD), prototype development, industrialization, and the design of complex assemblies and systems.
