Summary

My motivation lies in continuously developing myself and successfully completing my tasks. I have been part of the Audi family for 25 years, starting in powertrain assembly and spending the last 15 years in quality assurance. Through numerous trainings and advanced courses, I have been able to expand my skills and apply my knowledge effectively in my area of responsibility. My experience with Volkswagen IT-Systems such as KPM, Tevon, Avon, Beon, Nolis, and TI-REX completes my professional profile.
