Throughout his life Nikolai has always been fascinated by Renaissance men, those who have broad ranges of knowledge across various topics. With this fascination he worked his way from the factory floor to the R&D department. Knowing that going into medical school was be too late to start having a real impact, he made a switch from traditional engineering towards medical devices, to partake in multi-disciplinary projects with a meaningful value of saving or improving lives. This drive ultimately led him through working in huge multinational companies and small startups to IDE to be a member of the team working on multiple exciting projects.
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."
