I am a Software Engineer and Mathematician.I'm a proud member of the backend team at DeepL.I love designing and writing software, and I'm constantly trying to expand my knowledge in this field, either by adding new tools to my toolbox or by sharpening my skills with the ones I already know. Given my theoretical background and tinkering nature (I love to peek inside black boxes to understand how they work), I'm constantly looking for the best balance between solid high-level design and hardware-aware performance optimizations.Before working as a software engineer, I received a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Münster and a M.Sc. from the University of Bonn. My research in topology focused on analyzing the structural properties of incredibly generic abstract spaces using methods from Algebraic Geometry and Higher Category Theory.Besides programming, I have a wide range of interests, including music, gaming, cinema, and visual arts.I share my personal projects on my website and GitHub page, where you can find my public projects on SIMD computing, emulation, ray tracing, and reinforcement learning.
