about
student, builder, and community organizer in karlsruhe.
I study Industrial Engineering & Management at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Right now I'm going deep on the technical side of things: embedded hardware (ESP32, Raspberry Pi, TinyML), Python, and AI automation, shipping projects like an AI e-ink note taker, a GPS tracker, and a running pace robot along the way.
Before that, I spent two years in energy infrastructure. At Terra One I led the coordination of grid connection processes for utility-scale battery storage across Germany, processing over 100 GW of grid applications, work that was featured in Handelsblatt. A stint in growth and project management at Arteus Energy followed. I learned a lot there, and also that administrative operations roles aren't where I want to spend my career. So I'm switching tracks.
Outside of university, I founded and lead the Karlsruhe chapter of the Young Founders Network, a non-profit of 1,900+ young founders under 25 across DACH, built through partnerships with OpenAI, JetBrains, Siemens, and Bosch. I also represent OpenAI's Codex program as ambassador in Karlsruhe and organize Eisbaden Karlsruhe, a cold-plunge community that meets weekly at local rivers and lakes, all year round.
When I'm not studying or working, you'll find me running with KIT Run, at Judo training, jumping into cold water, or building side projects with whatever tool gets me to a prototype fastest.
I speak German (native), English (C1), and French (B2).
Here's what I'm doing now, and here's my cv.
