I'm a Master's student in Software Engineering at the University of Stuttgart, currently finishing my thesis on agentic AI workflows for automotive systems at Mercedes-Benz AG. I've been with the same team since 2023: first as a working student, then through my Bachelor's thesis, and now full time on my Master's.
What I actually enjoy is the whole stack. Writing the software, but also soldering the board it runs on, designing the enclosure, and figuring out why the demo broke five minutes before a review. Some of my favorite projects have involved building physical prototypes from scratch, including a vehicle-interior demonstrator with a custom PCB, 3D-printed mounts, and a voice interface.
Outside of work I do a bit of everything: I keep a personal 3D printer running and build my own mechanical watches in my spare time.
