Summary
Multiskilled and highly motivated professional with a background in electrotechnical and mechanical engineering. I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience, having successfully managed two companies in parallel: a technical design and R&D firm INFIZIO and a general construction and renovation business BAECKER, both in France.
My expertise spans a wide range of trades including electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, welding, and custom metalwork, as well as high-end interior design and finishing. I have led numerous full-scale renovation projects, coordinating all aspects of construction from concept to completion.
