I began my professional career in consulting roles, initially working on frontend development, then progressively shifting toward backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, and data engineering.

At IBM, I developed a strong foundation in:

• Machine Learning
• Reinforcement Learning
• Data-driven decision systems

This role shaped how I think about intelligent systems and scalable architectures.

At Data Reply, I worked as a Data Engineer, designing and operating enterprise-scale data platforms.

Key technologies & concepts:

• AWS Glue with massively parallelized Spark workloads
• Apache Airflow for orchestration & scheduling
• Event-driven architectures
• Automated data pipelines
• Near real-time data processing

I learned directly from AWS-certified experts and gained hands-on experience with:

• Monolith vs. microservices
• Asynchronous, message-driven systems
• Cloud architecture trade-offs at scale

At Munich-based defense startup Tytan Technologies, I worked closely with hardware, simulations, and edge AI systems.

• Part of the assembly team for interceptor drones

• Used NVIDIA Jetson Nano for real-time AI inference

• Operated under strict latency and resource constraints

• Witnessed the system evolve from prototype to:

  • Mid-air drone interception
  • Speeds up to 300 km/h
  • Successful kinetic collisions

I co-founded Eggi and raised $250k in venture capital through Entrepreneurs First, one of Europe’s top accelerator programs, backed by founders and investors from LinkedIn and Stripe.

I spent significant time in San Francisco, where I designed and built the entire AWS-based microservices backend, including:

• SNS / SQS for async, queue-based messaging
• Horizontally scalable services
• Near real-time processing pipelines
• Cloud-native best practices for reliability & scalability

During my late teens (18–19), I actively participated in hackathons across Europe.

Winner — €2,000 prize (Most Played Game)

I built a real-time AWS backend for a Unity game:

• Live data streaming to game clients
• REST APIs for storing, modifying, and deleting game state
• High-concurrency handling under extreme load

The game was streamed by Aypierre (450k+ Twitch followers) and reached:

• 10,000 concurrent players over a single weekend

Despite hitting scaling limits, the infrastructure remained stable and playable throughout.

Winner — AirPods Pro

Sponsored by Telli (Y Combinator–backed voice agent startup).

I led a team to build a fully autonomous AI agent that asynchronously organized social events in a city.

Stack & concepts:

• ElevenLabs (voice generation)
• Tool-calling with custom APIs
• Twilio for outbound calling
• Agent orchestration & async workflows

Top 6 out of 150+ teams

At Europe’s largest annual hackathon, we built a Unity-based simulation of an AI-powered robotic ordering device for restaurants.

• Listens only to the table it serves
• Ignores background chatter via noise filtering
• Understands spoken orders in real-world environments

Out of 150+ teams (4 people each), we placed Top 6, narrowly missing the final podium and main-stage pitch.
