Holder of an applied degree in Mechanical Engineering (Metal Construction, 2020), André optimized production processes in the manufacturing industry, then strengthened his welding skills (MIG, TIG, stick welding) through a certification program in the mechanical industry. After completing a vocational diploma (DEP) in welding-assembly in Canada, André joined a steel fabrication company as a welder-assembler, where he contributes daily to the reliability and quality of metal assemblies. Rigorous and versatile, he is ready to take on new industrial challenges.
