About

I'm a computer-vision and robotics engineer based in Heilbronn, Germany, working at the intersection of deep reinforcement learning, perception, and production AI. My path runs from control theory through robotics research into shipping real-time ML systems — and points toward a PhD in learning-based autonomy.
