Built "Edith", a web-based full-stack drug-pipeline research tool with an agentic AI deployed behind it: it researches suppliers of upcoming drugs every month and runs further research on demand when users ask. Edith helps management to acquire information about pipeline drugs for possible addition to portfolio.
Built an n8n pipeline from PostgreSQL into the ordering workbook, giving the ordering team per-drug sales figures for the whole portfolio to support purchasing/stocking decisions.
Automated the warehouse drug quota check with Power Automate, replacing manual & silent failures.

Built and shipped 5+ banking and finance modules (mortgage, credit card application, term life insurance, loan origination) using Angular, C#, XML, and SQL.
Served enterprise banking clients across Europe and the Middle East. Collaborated with business analysts and QA teams to prioritize feature delivery across products.
Promoted from Associate to Software Developer within 6 months, reflecting consistent delivery and technical growth.

Designed and developed internal web applications using ReactJS and Flask, reducing manual reporting effort for the BI team.
Built Python-based image processing pipelines to automate data validation against Power BI dashboards, eliminating error-prone manual checks.
Worked for 18 months across two internship cycles during my studies.

Developed "Apistant", an API analyzer tool built with Java Spring Boot, designed with a linked list data structure. Voluntary internship during my studies in the second year of university.

Grade: 2.3, German scale. Specialized in Data Analytics and AI & Management.
Relevant coursework: Large Language Models/Agents, Generative AI, Organization Theory, Managing People & Organizations, Information Retrieval.
Master's thesis: The Personal Prometheus: Evaluating Role-Constrained AI to Reduce Strategic Convergence at the Pre-Deliberation Stage of Team Decision-Making. Design science research focused on the phase in which each C-level team member, having consulted AI individually, forms the strategic interpretation they will later bring into board meeting. Developed an artifact to measure whether role-constrained AI configuration would enrich the valid decision diversity.

Graduation project: Serious Game Development for Cerebral Palsy Patients. Physiotherapy research about designing custom video games that act as physical therapy exercises. Instead of making a patient do boring, repetitive stretches or arm raises, researchers build video games where the patient's real-life body movements control what happens on the screen. This research field sits at the crossroads of physiotherapy, neuroscience, and computer science & engineering.
