Profile

Aerospace Engineer
Aerospace Engineer based in Germany, with a background that combines aerospace engineering and a strong interest in computer science, further strengthened through academic experience at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland.
I am particularly interested in the intersection between engineering and software, including flight simulation, system integration, and modern technological applications in aerospace.

Beyond the Office
I enjoy exploring different cultures through travel and am an avid football fan, having competed in many university tournaments. To stay active and balanced, I am also a regular swimmer.

Values
I am deeply committed to causes such as human rights, equality, and freedom—values that I hold close to my heart and strive to support in all aspects of my life.
