- 🎓 M.Sc. Data & Computer Science – Universität Heidelberg
- 🧠 I build agentic AI systems (LangGraph), RAG stacks, and evaluation-first ML features
- 🛠️ Production mindset: FastAPI, Streamlit, Docker, CI/CD, metrics & tracing
- 📄 5 peer-reviewed papers on vision transformers & real-time recognition (IEEE, Springer, De Gruyter)
- ✍️ Recent focus: agentic news summarization, web search and Agentic AI with blog generation
- ⚡ Fun fact: My DQN Bomberman agent wins a lot…and still occasionally blows itself up 🙃
