details about me

10+ Years of Experience in Aerospace Engineering

Exploring the intersection of technology and creativity is where my passion lies. Each project I undertake is not just a task but a journey into the unknown, where I can innovate and push boundaries. My approach to software and system engineering is rooted in a deep understanding of both the technical and human aspects of technology. I believe that great design is not only about aesthetics but also about functionality and user experience. Whether it’s consulting on a complex system or designing a user-friendly interface, my goal is to create solutions that are both effective and inspiring. Join me as we delve into the fascinating world of technology and its endless possibilities.

The Owner takes appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or unauthorized destruction of the Data. The Data processing is carried out using computers and/or IT enabled tools, following organizational procedures and modes strictly related to the purposes indicated. In addition to the Owner, in some cases, the Data may be accessible to certain types of persons in charge, involved with the operation of this Application (administration, sales, marketing, legal, system administration) or external parties (such as third-party technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, IT companies, communications agencies) appointed, if necessary, as Data Processors by the Owner.

The Owner may process Personal Data relating to Users if one of the following applies:
  • Users have given their consent for one or more specific purposes.
  • Note: Under some legislations the Owner may be allowed to process Personal Data until the User objects to such processing (“opt-out”), without having to rely on consent or any other of the following legal bases. This, however, does not apply, whenever the processing of Personal Data is subject to European data protection law;
  • provision of Data is necessary for the performance of an agreement with the User and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof;
  • processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Owner is subject;
