Who I am
A brief introduction to my background and technical journey.
I'm a Computer Science Master's student at Paderborn University with a focus on Machine Learning and IT Security, currently working in Research & Pre-Development at dSPACE. My work sits at the intersection of applied AI and software development — from building AI-powered software and agentic systems to automating complex workflows with n8n and researching emerging technologies. I'm most excited by utilizing AI to accelerate processes — or even building things that weren't possible without it. In my free time, you'll often find me taking photos for my Instagram, working out at the gym, or picking up my newest hobby: learning to play the guitar.
