Hello, welcome to my website! I recently graduated from Hasso Plattner Institute with a M.Sc. in IT-Systems Engineering. For my Master's I specialized in human-computer interaction and mobile & embedded systems. But please check out my projects to see the kind of programming I did so far.
I consider myself a generalist software engineer and I am currently looking for a position where I can solve challenging problems and learn new skills.
I have worked on web applications in Ruby and Python, in-memory databases in C++, gesture interaction with computer vision through a Kinect Sensor, touch applications on iPhone, iPad, and Microsoft Surface tabletop.
I am interested in working on scalable web systems, mobile applications, applied computer vision & machine learning, and developing products with user-experience in mind. I enjoy working in uncertainty where it is necessary to develop new algorithms, and research novel approaches instead of repeating the same routine over and over.
