I’m a fourth-year BSc Information Systems student at the Technical University of Munich and a student at the Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM).
I love building AI systems across language, time series, voice, and music. Currently, I’m especially curious about what large generative models learn internally, and how this interpretability can help with alignment, and safety topics.
The past few years have taken me through startups, consulting, and AI research in Singapore and the US. Outside university, I’ve organized scholarship information sessions across Germany, led the TU Investment Club, and tried to find my way back to the piano whenever I can.
My studies were supported by Stiftung der Deutschen Wirtschaft, the Rohde scholarship, the Rheinstahl scholarship, and the e-fellows IT scholarship.

I built a perception and control pipeline for an autonomous wheel loader on an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin 64GB, combining SAM 3 and SegFormer with WebRTC streaming and MQTT controls. I also built the app to monitor and control it remotely. Got interviewed by YC P26.
I worked with a large German customer support platform to develop their Voice AI strategy, defining the target architecture and AI–human handover procedures. Through expert interviews, I shortlisted 30 use cases and developed a build-vs-buy recommendation and pricing framework.
In 2023, a friend and I realised that access to scholarship information depended far too much on where you went to school. After visiting schools to talk about our own scholarships, we started recruiting volunteers and emailing every high school in our state.
Our first sessions were on Zoom: a chance for students to ask scholarship recipients their questions directly. Today, we work with scholars from all 13 of Germany’s federally funded scholarship foundations, with a particular focus on rural regions; more than 80 volunteers have helped us reach over 5,000 students and teachers from over 600 schools.

I grew up playing classical piano and competing nationally in Germany. I’ve also conducted orchestras, including once the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in a personal conducting masterclass with Rodolfo Barráez.
During university, I’ve loved the opportunities to play at galas, graduations, and other small concerts. Here’s an excerpt from a Sunday Supper concert at International House, UC Berkeley.
