About
- 2016 – 2019
Hello, World!
I started coding in 2016, at 12, with a summer course on Arduino microcontrollers at the Phaenovum Student Research Center in Lörrach. After that I moved on to HTML, CSS and JavaScript, as far as the time limit on our family computer allowed.
- 2019 – 2024
Overclocked
In 2019 my school decommissioned its old computers and I took one home. With a friend’s help I upgraded and overclocked it to modern standards (ish). I learned Python and Java on it, took Machine Learning courses at Phaenovum and worked on personal projects. I also took part in JugendForscht and the selection rounds for the Physics Olympiad.
- Since 2024
Work in Progress
In 2024 I started studying computer science, with physics as a minor, at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, supported by a scholarship from the Begabtenstiftung Informatik Karlsruhe.
During an internship at eschbach in 2025 I built an NLP proof of concept for search over industrial data. I went back in 2026, reworked it and brought it into production.
In 2025 I joined the perception team at KITcar.

Away From Keyboard
During school I worked as a cave guide. I do track and field, and play guitar.
