I'm originally from Germany and recently (May 2024) graduated with a Master's degree in Computer Science from TUM. During my studies, I worked in a research team at the eye clinic of the MRI&JHU, building augmented reality applications to support in the operating room, as well as conducting research in the field of robotic eye surgery. For my first full-time position after graduation, I relocated to Lisbon to start working as a Software Engineer at Dremio!

A big passion of mine is baking. Outside of work, you can usually find me experimenting in the kitchen, trying out new recipes. (Maybe I'll share some of my favorite recipes on this website in the future! 🍰)

I also love nature/being outside! Depending on where I live, I usually try to join the local running club, and I also love to go hiking with my friends. And who knows, maybe I'll pick up a new hobby or two, now that I live so close to the Ocean! 🏄‍♂️

I have a big plant obsession and always look for new plants to add to my collection. With Lisbon's much more moderate winters, I'm excited to see how my plants will grow here! If you're ever on a Zoom call with me, you'll probably spot me fairly quickly because of all the plants in my background ;D

I'm a big fan of West Coast Swing, a swing dance that originated from Lindy hop and can be danced to all kinds of different musical styles and genres. So, if you're also a WCS dancer, maybe we will see each other at some dance event or a local party :)
