My relationship with industry began at the age of eight, working alongside my father in his heavy metal carpentry shop. By his side I grew up among meetings, jobsites, and assembly and installation projects, at a time when many decisions still relied on calculations, experience, technical judgment, and hands‑on field work.

Over time, that closeness allowed me to learn the value of the trade: welding, layout, reading technical drawings, and taking decisions and responsibility in field activities led me to understand the importance of teamwork in demanding environments. More than isolated skills, these were experiences that taught me to respect technical work, understand the reality of the people who execute projects, and value the precision, safety, and responsibility that every industrial activity requires.

That experience strengthened my confidence at the end of my engineering degree to move into industry and shaped a way of seeing it that still guides my work today: being on the shop floor firsthand, listening to people, analyzing the process before proposing solutions, and always keeping a clear connection between technical work, operations, and results — but above all, my passion for old‑school discipline.
