Industrializing and Optimizing Processes in Manufacturing (Bonding, adhesives, metals, composites)

Expert in process optimization and industrialization in the aerospace industry: In addition to 5+ years of manufacturing experience as a bonding process expert in commercial aviation, I am currently wrapping up a master's degree in materials science and business administration in Germany. I am looking to move to Zurich for permanent or temporary positions. I have a passion for turning a design and prototype into a manufacturable process and product. 

I call my tinkering "arts and crafts", but it really just serves as an outlet for trying new things and building new skills.
