• Developed first productionized chat-search assistant with citations and access to real-time data together with a small group of engineers
• Engineered and maintained You.com's payment infrastructure (subscription, one-time payment and referral services) processing multiple thousands of dollars and customers
• Implemented various important software components such as such feature rate limiting and chat history, handling millions of user requests daily
• Built ad infrastructure from ground up and across the full stack, integrating multiple external ad partners, generating significant revenue
• Led daily engineering standups and participated as one of a handful engineers in cross-functional planning meetings

• Designed and co-led a two-week-long in-home study with more than 30 participants investigating how a robot's presence influences participant's exercise behavior
• Engineered a system for classifying movement patterns for fitness exercises with an accuracy of 87% by separating incoming data into repetitions and extracting relevant features for a time series classifier
• Work published at RO-MAN 2022 Link To Paper

Technical Skills: Python, PyTorch, ROS

• Developed autoencoder using PyTorch that outperforms standard neuroscience methods on several classification and translation tasks by 5% on average by applying novel architecture to extract and capture useful information from multi-subject fMRI data
• Worked published at Nature Computational Science and MLSP 2022

Technical Skills: Python, PyTorch

• Build a computer simulation to model train movements in the greater Hamburg area (Germany) realistically based on historical track plan data
• Designed and implemented reward and metrics functions of a reinforcement learning agent and trained the agent on the computer simulation to improve train punctuality by optimizing train disposition
• Conducted statistical and graphical analysis about the agent's behavior in different experiments and the computer simulation's faithfulness to reality

Technical Skills: Python, Pandas, Numpy, Tensorflow, SUMO

• Investigated group collaboration and the interactions between humans and robots in the experimental setting of an imaginary survival game
• Implemented algorithms to analyze recorded data for backchannel cues; focused on the extraction of facial landmarks and the detection of behavioral signals like gazes or head nods
• Work published in "Frontiers in Psychology" Link To Paper

Technical Skills: Python, ROS, OpenCV
