Curious Engineer. TUM. Munich.
Now
At taico, I manage the infrastructure and architecture of a GCP platform serving major European enterprises in media analytics, retail, and streaming. Separately, I consult for Telefonica (O2) on 5G edge computing and computer vision for autonomous systems.
Day to day, I work across the full stack: cloud infrastructure on GCP, API development, data pipelines, databases, and agentic AI workflows. My academic background is in robotics, computer vision, and autonomous systems (TUM).
In my own time I build things: an artificial life simulation in Rust/WebAssembly, multi-agent systems with Google ADK, MCP servers, and context engines for AI coding assistants. Details on each project below.
