About Me

Born and raised in Coburg, Germany I relocated to Innsbruck, Austria in 2018 to study and climb.

I'm passionate about professional software development in particular with the latest machine learning technology. After my bachelor's degree in Information Systems, I worked for three years developing an international e-commerce platform. In 2021 I accomplished my Computer Science master's degree with a focus on the security of deep learning.
I have gathered great experiences on my first big mountain project, the Kilimanjaro, as well as from multiple alpine climbing, paragliding and skiing tours across the alps.
