MSc Space Systems Engineering and Robotics student
Wesley is an assertive self-reflecting perfectionist in the field of satellite engineering and machine learning. His imagination goes to infinity and beyond and therefore has a very rich problem-solving capability. With his entrepreneurial knowledge, he bridges the gap between the stakeholders and the technical side of a project while empowering the team with good ideas, in order to come up with innovative solutions to contemporary and futuristic problems to satisfy the customer. Wesley has experience in handling classified data securely and enjoys the newest technologies in consumer electronics. He reported on many advanced technologies and products from the perspective of an aerospace engineer as an entrepreneur on Astronautech.com. I like space, tech, and latte macchiato, what can I order for you? Rule of life: When I say something, I mean it. If I won't mean it, I won't say it. So if I make you a compliment, don't doubt it.

Energy harvesting above the low-level clouds to provide TU Delft with its energy demands by using an environmentally-sustainable flying energy-harvesting station operating above the low-level clouds.
October 1, 2019 – February 1, 2020
The discussion concerning the world-wide energy transition has been surrounded by a continuously recurring problem in the Netherlands: the lack of available area due to a high population density. This project contributes to this transition by designing a system which can provide Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) with all its electricity demands by harvesting energy from renewable sources, all while operating above the clouds -- limiting the impact of the system on ground activities -- and placing a focus on the application of sustainable materials (Garcia 2019). Harvesting energy above the clouds also brings advantages regarding the amount of energy that can be captured, as wind speeds and solar intensity are higher above the lower-layer clouds, which are located 2 km above the ground. Mission need statement: To provide TU Delft with its energy demands by using an environmentally-sustainable flying energy-harvesting station operating above the low-level clouds.

Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's background in aerospace and robotics, coupled with leadership roles in a study association and a startup, suggests a proactive and innovative mindset. The focus on sustainable energy and AI in space systems indicates an interest in cutting-edge technology and complex challenges. However, there is no direct evidence of cultural fit for a cybersecurity-focused organization, as their projects and experience are primarily in aerospace and AI.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate demonstrates strong leadership, organizational, and problem-solving skills through their roles as CEO and Commissioner. The TNO internship highlights collaboration and adaptability in applying complex AI solutions. However, specific operational fit for a Cybersecurity role is not directly evident from the provided data.
