While working on the RP1 project, I designed specific boards with selected components to achieve the capabilities I needed.
Since then, whenever I require a board with particular specifications, I open the editor, design the board, and send the order.
This skill has been a game changer in my projects.
Whenever I need a component for one of my projects, I design it myself with Autodesk Inventor and print it with my 3D printer.
I've been using 3D printers since 2021 and since then I've faced a lot of problems (broken parts, software malfunctions, hardware malfunctions) with these machines but I solved them all, allowing me to learn even more.
I was even able to receive a discount from a 3D printer company for pointing out a solution to a problem.
Additionally, I can design metallic components and then order them from a CNC company.
I've done team projects both in and outside the academic environment and I always act as a team player.
I help others and, when I need assistance, I'm able to express my problem in a clear and effective way.
In stressful situations I can serve as a point of reference for the team and I have a strong mentality to handle such circumstances.
I want to separate this skill of mines from the team work because I think that being a team player and recognizing people's qualities are two differetn things.
I enjoy getting to know people, and after a period of interaction, I understand where they excel and in which fields thay like to apply themselves.
