About
Electrical Engineer MSc
I’m an Electrical Engineering MSc student graduating early October with a strong background in robotics and autonomous systems. I bring practical experience in designing and implementing robotics projects, including building the SLAM pipeline for an autonomous race car. With a keen eye for innovation and a drive for problem-solving, I’m excited to contribute my skills to the world of robotics or similar industries.

Estimation Module Lead
Zürich
parttime
AMZ Racing builds a new race car to be driven both manually and autonomously in international Formula Student Competitions. I was leader of the Estimation team of the 2022/23 season. I lead a small team of engineering students in the development of the Estimation Module for an autonomous race car. The module is divided into three submodules, State Estimation, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and Path Planning. My responsibilities comprised the following: - Recruitment of new team members - Knowledge transfer to new team members - Organization of weekly status report meetings - Coordination with other module leads - Continuous feedback and code review

Teaching Assistant - Calculus I & II
Zürich
parttime
I prepared a 2 hour lesson every week for first-year Bachelor‘s students. In those lessons I revised the theory treated in the corresponding lectures and prepared the attendees for the exercises by showing how the theory can be applied and by giving important notes on how to approach the exercises. Between lessons I corrected theirs solutions and gave feedback on how they can improve. At the end of the semester, I prepared a two-day seminar with the aim of preparing the students for the study session before the exam and for the exam itself.
