About Me

I am currently a Master’s student in Management at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Coming from a technical background, I specialize in bridging the gap between complex software engineering and strategic business goals.

My journey started with hands-on R&D in AI and leadership roles within the IEEE community. Today, I combine that technical foundation with management principles to build scalable digital products. Whether it's deploying Python/Flask applications, experimenting with Generative AI, or analyzing market efficiency, I love solving problems that sit at the intersection of innovation and execution.
