SUMMER INTERN - MAIASPACE (ARIANEGROUP)
SUMMER INTERN - MAIASPACE (ARIANEGROUP)
In June 2025, I joined MaiaSpace - a subsidiary of ArianeGroup (Europe’s leading space company), whose mission is to develop one of the very first reusable European launchers - in the team in charge of testing the Colibri kick-stage, designed to perform fine orbital insertions and enable multi-satellite deployments.
More specifically, I contributed to instal fluidic and electrohydraulic lines on the Colibri’s engines propulsion bench, including mechanical and pneumatic sizing for fixture integration; routing and soldering strain gauges and accelerometers for the Colibri vibrational test campaign; and harnessing and cable connection for the Intermediate Stage Structure (ISS) pressurization test.
Beyond the knowledge gained in liquid propulsion, sensor integration, and mechanical handling, this firsthand exposure to the challenges tackled, expertise leveraged, and milestones achieve of a high-stakes aerospace project marked a decisive turning point for me. The observation of its inner workings gave me the technical culture, issue understanding, and long-term perspective I need to sharpen my entrepreneurial aspirations in advanced aerospace and defense technologies, and contribute to showcasing French excellence on the global stage
SALES AND MECHANICAL ASSISTANT - KTM INDUISTRIES
As a sales and mechanical assistant at KTM, I gained hands-on experience in both customer service and technical operations within a high-performance motorcycle environment. I assisted in diagnosing mechanical issues, performing basic maintenance tasks, and preparing vehicles for delivery, which sharpened my technical precision and problem-solving skills.
On the sales side, I advised clients on product features and specifications, ensuring their needs aligned with the right technical solutions. This dual role enhanced my ability to bridge the gap between technical expertise and client-facing communication, an asset I believe is key for bridging engineering expertise and project requirements.

CATERING EXPERIENCE - HEAD WAITER, BARTENDER & STOCK MANAGER
Over a cumulative 12 months, I held various roles in the hospitality industry across multiple establishments in Aix-en-Provence and Soorts-Hossegor, including seller, bartender, headwaiter, runner, and stock manager. These positions required precision, adaptability, and a strong sense of organization in fast-paced environments. Managing inventory and optimizing stock logistics taught me efficiency and attention to detail, while working directly with customers refined my communication and service-oriented mindset.
Balancing these responsibilities across diverse teams strengthened my ability to perform under pressure and coordinate effectively, skills that I find essential for success in demanding, team-oriented professional engineering projects.
