About

Portrait of Felix Machan

My name is Felix Machan and I'm a 23-year-old engineering student coming from a small town near Budapest, Hungary. Ever since I was a child, I have known that I'm mainly interested in technical subjects and I like building things. This is exactly why I chose to pursue engineering as my field of study. However, it was not clear to me at first which specific branch of engineering I wanted to specialize in. After some research, I found out about Mechatronics Engineering, which perfectly combines my interests in mechanical, electrical, and software engineering. With this multidisciplinary approach, I can work on a wide range of projects and solve complex problems that require knowledge from multiple fields.

Since the beginning of my studies, I have adopted a hands-on approach to system design and implementation. I build practical, end-to-end solutions spanning embedded systems, software, and infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on understanding how things work - not just making them work.
