About Me
Digital Crop Scientist & Machine Learning Engineer
I'm a bridge candidate—combining deep domain expertise in plant physiology, soil dynamics, and agronomy with modern software engineering, IoT hardware, and machine learning. I build things like GPU-accelerated synthetic crop simulations, ESP32-based environmental IoT monitors, and Random Forest pipelines for non-invasive LiDAR/NIR soil sensing.
I currently work as a research assistant at the Agrobotics Group at Uni Bonn, developing computer vision and simulation tools for agricultural robotics. I’m also part of the team at DynamoBot, an AgTech startup building autonomous weeding robots.
Traditional agricultural data collection is destructive, slow, and expensive. By combining machine learning, computer vision, and geospatial analysis with agronomy, I want to build scalable, real-time solutions for precision agriculture and climate resilience.

How I Work
Scientific First
I start with the science. Understanding the biological system is prerequisite to modeling it effectively.
Iterative Development
I build incrementally, validating at each step. Complex systems are understood through simple models first.
Reproducibility by Default
Every analysis is version-controlled and documented. If I can’t reproduce it, it’s not done.
Full-Stack Thinking
From embedded sensors to cloud dashboards, I build complete systems that work end-to-end.
Domain Expertise
AI & Software Engineering
Geospatial & Hardware
Languages (Human)
German - Native
English - C1
French - A2
Portuguese - A1
Outside Work
Tinkering & engineering, strength training, cooking, gaming, and spending time in nature.
Currently seeking
PhD positions or industry roles in AgTech, biotech, or research institutions where I can apply computational methods to agricultural challenges.
Let's Work Together
I'm actively seeking opportunities in AgTech, Biotech, or research institutions. Whether it's a PhD position or an industry role, I'm ready to contribute.
