About

I am a Master’s student in Artificial Intelligence at FAU Erlangen with hands-on experience in building and deploying AI systems, full-stack web applications, and multi-agent workflows. I have contributed to generative AI and RAG-based platforms in industry, executed research projects in medical time series and computer vision, and developed personal projects exploring agentic AI and retrieval systems. Passionate about bridging AI research with real-world applications, I enjoy designing end-to-end systems that combine machine learning, software engineering, and automation. I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments where I can tackle complex technical challenges and deliver impactful solutions.
