Today we introduce you to Lukas, who joined the tmc family in March this year and works in electronics. In his free time, Lukas is creative and creates great workpieces with his wood router.
From automation technology to electronics at tmc
Lukas, who joined tmc at the beginning of this year, studied automation technology at the University of Applied Sciences in Wels. From there, he slipped into the field of automation via a research group specialising in robots, as he explains. After a few years in this field, he changed his career path and became a hardware developer and finally head of development.
Before joining tmc, Lukas worked in software development for a company specialising in electronics. At tmc, Lukas is now responsible for MDC data logger electronics, which he really enjoys and where he benefits greatly from his previous professional experience. MDC has been in existence at tmc for 5 years now, and new requirements have been added in the meantime. MDC is now to be revised and offer users even more functions and flexibility. In future, Lukas will also be involved in replacement type.
tmc’s flexibility as a major benefit
Lukas particularly appreciates the flexibility that tmc offers him in organising his work schedule with his new employer. He is also very happy to receive a subsidy for the climate ticket and to be able to use the park and ride. Lukas would regularly have the opportunity to work from home, but prefers to come into the office and enjoys working from there.
A passion for wood
For several years now, Lukas has been passionately pursuing a special hobby that combines his two passions of technology and craftsmanship. Together with a friend, he has purchased a 10C wood router and a laser, with which they can mill patterns out of wood that have been pre-drawn on the computer. They can work on pieces of wood 1-2 cm thick. The two of them are always trying out new projects and have already created many beautiful engravings and gifts, e.g. for weddings, but there have also been regular fails, as Lukas explains. This hobby is learning by doing and the two are very motivated.
Lukas is currently trying his hand at ‘rivertables’. This involves casting tree trunk discs with epoxy resin and then making patterns in the tree trunks with a wood milling machine. He and his friend are tinkering and trying things out and hope to be able to produce a serving board in this way at least once. For all those who don’t know Rivertables yet – it’s worth checking them out on the internet, a very cool thing!
Thank you very much for the interesting interview, Lukas! We wish you all the best for your job at tmc and hope that many more wood router projects can be realised.
