I am a German citizen living in Munich, currently working as a Software Engineer at Lyft, specializing in backend development and machine learning. I have been working on creating Python and GraphQL based internal tools, I've improved debugging processes for ETA and routing issues by 72%.

Before Lyft, I worked as a Junior Data Scientist at Lidl, where I leveraged advanced NLP and image recognition techniques to optimize product similarity detection, reducing search times by 30%.

I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Freie Universität Berlin (GPA 1.4), with expertise in machine learning, Python, Flask, and SQL. I also learned frontend (JavaScript, jQuery) by myself during study and work.

In my spare time, I continue to sharpen my skills through Coursera certifications in different fields like frontend and machine learning.
