SWE @ Google | Co-Founder @ muunai | TUM | Oxford | TUM.ai
TL;DR
I love building tech products that make people's lives easier. Currently keeping Google secure in the age of AI. Co-founded muunai.com to give doctors more time for patients by using AI to handle medical documentation and automate administrative work. Previously I researched multimodal agentic systems for cardiac MRI assessment at the University of Oxford and TUM; built production LLM agents and ML pipelines for a major telco operator; developed full-stack internal process automation tools; and designed secure vehicle hardware and networking architectures for several automotive OEMs and suppliers. At TUM.ai, I led the Industry Department, overseeing 10+ AI/ML engineering projects.
