About Me

Building software with a product mindset

I enjoy turning messy problems into clean, usable tools — from internal automation to web apps.

Ambitious Business Informatics student with fluent German and English. Passionate about software development and data analysis, with hands-on experience in Java, Python, and modern web frameworks.

Strategic board games like chess sharpen my analytical and problem-solving skills, which I apply in study and work. Currently based in Karlsruhe, Germany.

I'm looking for opportunities where I can combine software engineering and data analysis to create measurable impact.
