dreifach.ai · Remote / Cologne, Germany

Built LLM-backed tools for insurance workflows (document analysis, internal chat, retrieval).

Implemented embedding-based contract comparison, automated ticket tagging, and privacy-aware archival pipelines.

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology · Karlsruhe, Germany

Supervised Data Science Lab projects; grading, code reviews, and project guidance.

Vector Informatik GmbH · Karlsruhe, Germany

Developed Java tooling (Maven, SVN, JUnit, Mockito) for the PREEvision CASE suite.

Designed and shipped a plugin for the propagation rule framework; presented to the department.

EPFL Datalab · Lausanne, Switzerland

• Distilled MiniLMv2-based encoders across 16 languages (three model sizes each) for deployable NLP pipelines.
• Evaluated on POS, lemmatization, dependency parsing, NER, and QA; measured latency, throughput, and energy per sample.
• Released models and code; presented at RethinkingAI@NeurIPS 2025 (Copenhagen).

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology · Karlsruhe, Germany

• Building an explainable NLP system for German primary school reports to support retrospective ADHD assessment, by training custom models and comparing them with API. Custom model training included sft of Encoder Models, and SFT + RL of Qwen3-4B.
• Python backend (models, REST API) plus React/Node.js frontend; evidence highlighting and clinical metrics (AUC/ROC, sensitivity, specificity).

Swiss AI Center & ETH Zurich · Zurich, Switzerland

Generated realistic handwritten images from LaTeX math exercises to stress-test OCR systems and produce multilingual training data.

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology · Karlsruhe, Germany

Developed methods to generate and detect hidden outliers in high-dimensional data using autoencoders.

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology · Karlsruhe, Germany

Implemented and compared explainable approaches for facial micro-expression recognition (prototype and evaluation).
