Profile
I have over a decade of experience developing robotic solutions for the agricultural, medical, mobility, and navigation sectors. My enthusiasm, openness, and resilience have enabled me to successfully complete numerous projects. In addition to these qualities, my superiors value my quick-thinking and structured problem-solving, even under high pressure. My colleagues appreciate my open communication and that I always have their backs to enable them to work effectively. With me, you gain a conscientious, and collegial employee who is willing to take responsibility and to continuously improve himself and your company.

OSS Contributions
During my time at the Institute of Automatic Control, I have advocated for more open source to improve the reproducibility of our research. I specifically consider (development) containers useful for simplified reproducibility. Please look at my GitHub profile for the most recent contributions.
