About me
I am currently studying Computer Science at Leibniz Universität Hannover. During my studies, I have especially come to enjoy software engineering, data science, and research at the intersection of people, AI, and games.
I graduated with my BSc in 2024 and am currently pursuing my Master's degree. I also work at the Institute for Information Processing as a Student Researcher, focusing on Explainable AI and Game Research.
Before that, I worked on frontend projects using Angular. I no longer consider frontend development my main field, but I still enjoy building projects from time to time.
