Freelance

Computer Aided Design Mechanical Engineering | 02/1997 - 02/1998

Being into mechanical engineering, I wanted to see if handling it full-time was really "my thing". Well, it wasn't. This mostly because doing it freelance as I did meant having to work into too many and too different product environments. And I was also missing the contact with an enthusiastic working team and public of consumers.
