Experience
From mechatronics to energy engineering to strategy research. First I learned how to build a machine; then how to judge whether a market is worth building for.

Case studies
Written the consulting way: the context, what I did, and what came out of it.
Applying a 70 MPa hydrogen storage system
In the R&D team of a French automotive supplier, I worked across the full chain of a 70 MPa hydrogen storage system, from requirements and component selection to simulation and testing.
