SUMMER INTERN - MAIASPACE (ARIANEGROUP)
SUMMER INTERN - MAIASPACE (ARIANEGROUP)
I conducted a summer internship at MaiaSpace (ArianeGroup) in Vernon, France, from June to July 2025, contributing to the integration of the “Colibri” kick-stage propulsion test bench for Europe’s first reusable launcher campaign. I assembled fluidic, pneumatic, and electrohydraulic lines feeding the engine through propellant and pressurant circuits, installed engine supports and test-bench interfaces, and wired intermediate-stage thermocouples and accelerometer harnesses for vibration testing. I also supported vibrational instrumentation activities involving sensors, strain gauges, and accelerometers, ensuring proper integration and readiness for test campaigns.
This work strengthened my hands-on skills in propulsion hardware integration, test-bench assembly, and instrumentation under real launch-vehicle development constraints. It gave me direct exposure to industrial-grade propulsion testing environments and multidisciplinary interfaces between structures, fluids, and measurements. These competencies directly support my long-term ambition to design, integrate, and validate advanced propulsion systems for reusable launch vehicles and future high-performance aerospace platforms.
SALES AND MECHANICAL ASSISTANT - KTM INDUISTRIES
I joined KTM Motorbike Industries as a Summer Intern in Venelles, France, in August 2021, embedded within the technical team of the workshop. I assisted with diagnostic checks and pre-delivery mechanical testing across multiple motorbike models, supported routine maintenance operations, and helped manage showroom logistics.
This early immersion built my mechanical intuition, work discipline, and respect for operational rigor, laying a concrete foundation for my later engineering path focused on complex mechanical systems and hands-on experimentation.

CATERING EXPERIENCE - HEAD WAITER, BARTENDER & STOCK MANAGER
From June 2021 to December 2023, I worked part-time in the hospitality industry in Aix-en-Provence, primarily as a Head Waiter and Bartender at Le Singe Vert, while rotating through roles across several establishments. I led service during peak hours, managed the bar and cash register, coordinated teams, and handled customer-facing operations under high pressure.
This experience forged my sense of responsibility, situational awareness, and execution under stress, strengthening leadership, communication, and stamina—skills I now transfer directly to demanding engineering, research, and entrepreneurial environments.
