#### Personal Background

I am German / American currently residing in Boulder, CO but grew up in the Bay Area, Germany and Singapore.
I was fortunate to have had a very international upbringing that has taught me to be adaptable, culturally aware and a good communicator.

My dad helped me build my first website when I was 8 and I never looked back. Soon I was making video games in middle school and building my first
real applications in High School. Problem solving and building things that real people interact with have always been my passion—especially when combined with entrepreneurship.

#### Professional Background

My professional background so far has been shaped by startups. As a result, I am no stranger to shifting deadlines and ever-changing requirements; I adapt and get it done.
I can make impactful decisions, work collaboratively with others and take responsibility for the code I write.
I thoroughly enjoy making an impact and seeing the end user interact with what we build.

#### Areas of CS Interest

I have always been interested in Data Mining, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence for scientific applications.

In terms of software development, I have always been immersed in field of web and full-stack using modern web technologies and frameworks.

#### Education

I persued my undergraduate degree at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science in 2023.
In my senoir year, I spent a semester abroad at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) where I took classes in the Computer Science and HCI departments.
