Curriculum Vitae

There is also a PDF version of my CV available.

After completing my master's degree in computer science at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, I worked for the innovation service provider Zühlke Engineering for almost 9 years and successfully completed over 10 client projects, mainly in the field of embedded software.

Since 2023, I have continued my project work on a freelance basis and have already successfully completed the first project for Hekatron Brandschutz.
