About

Engineer who ships AI, not demos

AI software engineer who builds production RAG systems, AI agents, and generative-AI applications end to end. I design and ship LLM-powered features in Python and FastAPI — from data ingestion and retrieval to containerized deployment — with a strong focus on reliability and evaluation.

Award-winning hackathon builder (Schaeffler Challenge winner) with an engineering foundation and an M.Sc. in AI & Data-Driven Systems from FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. I care about systems that actually ship: measurable retrieval quality, guardrails against hallucination, and clean deployment pipelines.

RAG & retrieval

Chunking, embeddings, FAISS, and evaluation for correctness and hallucination.

Ship to production

Docker, GitLab CI/CD, and GCP — from prototype to a running service.

Reliable by design

Guardrails, domain-restricted responses, and multi-turn dialogue that holds up.

Ask my AI twin

Fittingly for someone who builds RAG systems and AI agents — talk to a mini agent trained on my background. Ask anything.
