I got into 3D printing as a hobbyist and got completely hooked. Building my own bike parts eventually turned into a career when I was scouted by a major AM machine manufacturer. Since then, I've been working in additive manufacturing professionally for more than six years, focused on production, qualification, quality assurance, and process reliability across AM technologies. I still love being a hobbyist and enjoy experimenting with materials, improving designs, and finding novel solutions to problems. My profile sits somewhere between DIY maker spirit and professional AM know how.
