Well, 2 years as an engineer for a company that did mainly CAD design, working with and managing a team of 5, sure gave me a lot of experience, handling batches of 50-60 parts a day for major - aero ( airbus.. among others ) and auto ( Honda.. among others )- companies was a very defining period in my career. Thanks to this, and to the idea that 44 office hours a week wasn't my thing ( after two years...yeah a little too late ) i'm now teaching mechanical engineering and design at public high-school and technical training centers. which give me enough time to do freelance jobs, and satisfy all your requirements ! Education : Technical high school graduate allowed me to get a bachelor degree in " Industrial Product Design" then a Masters in Mechanical engineering followed by - after the 2 years mentioned above, and training here and there.. - by 18 months in teacher's training center. Hope we collaborate more than once !
