I'm an agile software engineer with experience in open-source C++ and Python software development in the Linux ecosystem. I have a strong academic background in Artifical Intelligence (AI) planning with a focus on researching and developing search algorithms and heuristics (symbolic or traditional AI) as well as algorithm selection (data-driven AI).I'm an analytically thinking, dedicated and goal-oriented person who is always eager to improve and curious to learn, in particular new technology and tools. While searching for solutions to challenging AI problems or software engineering tasks, I love collaborating in teams, discussing with and explaining ideas to others. I'm honest and reliable, open minded and critical with myself and my environment, yet social and like to build lasting relationships.
