About

I'm a M.Sc. Computer Science student at Friedrich Schiller University Jena, with a deep interest in building things that are fast, correct, and close to the metal.

My master's focus spans high-performance computing, computer vision, machine learning, and algorithm engineering — from MPI-parallel PDE solvers and JIT ARM64 tensor kernels to large-scale image analysis pipelines.

My B.Sc. thesis on Wikipedia trustworthiness estimation taught me how to wrangle massive datasets with Apache Spark — and that the intersection of graph theory and real-world data is rarely clean. Outside of code, I'm fascinated by space, quantum mechanics, and anything that pushes the limits of what computation can simulate.
