About Me
I'm a Software Engineer with expertise in Python, backend development, and a strong background in Mechatronics and embedded systems. Currently working at Freiburg University on the Galaxy Project, a leading scientific workflow platform.
My journey spans from Arduino prototypes to cloud-scale bioinformatics tools. I believe in clean code, great documentation, and always pushing the open-source ecosystem forward.
Outside of work, I enjoy learning German, watching movies, and tinkering with IoT projects.
