About Me
A Bit About Myself

I'm a software engineer and AI enthusiast with a Master's in Applied Computer Science from SRH University Heidelberg. Currently working as an IT Engineer at the Bavarian AI Chair for Mathematical Foundations of Artificial Intelligence at LMU Munich, where I contribute to cutting-edge AI research.

My background spans machine learning, computer vision, cloud infrastructure, full-stack development, and IoT — I love bridging the gap between research prototypes and production-grade systems.

Outside of tech, I've led student communities, competed in national hackathons, and spoken at events — always driven by a desire to share knowledge and build things that matter.
