I have worked with Daniel during the European Ford EcoSport Launch in Craiova (Romania) in 2017. He supported the local Launch Team onsite during the pre-production build phases, bringing in his his knowledge and experience from the EcoSport development done by the Ford PD team in Brasil. Located directly in the Body Shop, he was acting not only as our direct link to the development team in case of product specific questions, but was directly involved in the BIW problem solution processes. With his vast experience in the field of Body Structures Engineering and his quick comprehension, he was certainly on of the enablers to deliver the European EcoSport Launch in time and with quality. He was an asset to the team and I would love to work with him again in the future. Christoph Lewin

Daniel is an precise working brilliant engineer. I appreciated working with him not only because his knowledge and effectiveness, but especially because his friendly and helpful personality. He is also very effective learning new skills. I would appreciate working with him any time. He is a good teammate and also a good leader.
