Fullstack Developer (Internship) - e.Ray

During my intensive internship, I was responsible for the conception, development, and deployment of an innovative real-time web-based platform. The platform was specifically designed for owners of hydroelectric power plants created by e-Ray to obtain key operational metrics instantly. Leveraging advanced web development frameworks and languages, I created a cutting-edge and user-friendly interface that facilitated real-time tracking of power generation, water levels, and other vital variables. This technology effectively digitized and streamlined the monitoring process, making it more efficient and precise. Additionally, by promoting data-driven decision-making, the platform empowered plant owners to predict, plan, and optimize operations effectively, subsequently contributing to the overall reliability and resilience of the power network. As part of the development process, I collaborated closely with a multidisciplinary team of renewable energy experts, gaining invaluable insights into the energy sector's challenges and solutions, thus honing my problem-solving and team collaboration skills.
Used Techniques: React, Javascript, Firebase

M.Sc. in Computer Science - Technical University Darmstadt

During my studies, I worked as a tutor for Net-Centric Systems and Visual Computing courses. This experience helped me to develop my teaching skills and improve my soft skills in professional communication. I took courses on formal specification and verification of software, Visual & Interactive Computing, and communication networks. I was recognized for my exceptional performance in Communication Networks. During my Master's degree, I conducted practical research on a self-built testbed, proving that the algorithm I developed for my Bachelor's thesis was effective on real hardware. This work led to the publication of my first paper under the supervision of the working group. Further, I have taken courses in economics and law. These include Bookkeeping, Human Resources Management, Basics of Economics, and many more. For my Master's thesis, I created a machine-learning approach for Multipath TCP schedulers generation. This approach showed its applicability and granted me the best possible grade.

Exchange Semester - Nihon University

While at Nihon University, I worked in the lab of Professor Teruomi Katori. I worked with other students on a parking guidance system while conducting personal research. I took an intensive Japanese course at Nihon University. My stay in Japan and the fact that most students on the campus did not speak English allowed me to improve my Japanese ability vastly. With the help of the intensive Japanese course, I improved my Japanese to the JLPT N3 level.

B.Sc. in Computer Science - Technical University Darmstadt

While doing my Bachelor's degree, I worked at the university as a tutor for Net-Centric Systems and Compiler-building courses. This work helped me grow my teaching skills and improve my soft skills in communicating with other people professionally. Throughout my Bachelor's degree, I specialized in Computer Networks (especially wireless) and Machine Learning. I took courses on Mobile Networking and Artificial Intelligence, passed two practical Labs focusing on Networking and the Internet with the best possible grade, and passed an advanced seminar on Networking and Wireless Communications with the best possible grade. The Seminar topic and my prior interest in machine learning led to my Thesis, where I created an algorithm that would create TCP Congestion-Control algorithms through an evolutional machine learning approach. This work was a huge success, granted me the best possible grade, was nominated as the best Thesis in the Computer Science department, and led to further commitment during my Master's degree on this topic.

Apprenticeship to Chemical Technical Assistant - Peter-Behrens-Schule

During your Chemical Technical Assistant (CTA) apprenticeship, I underwent comprehensive training combining classroom instruction and practical industry experience. In the academic portion of my apprenticeship, I studied a wide range of topics, such as organic and inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, and analytical methods. In the practical portion, I applied the knowledge gained in the classroom to real-world situations, conducting chemical experiments and analyses, preparing chemical solutions, maintaining lab equipment, and adhering to necessary safety regulations. I also learned to interpret and report findings, contributing to chemical research and development. Through this experience, I have gained significant hands-on experience and developed a strong foundation in laboratory procedures and best practices, propelling you to be effective within pharmaceutical, chemical, and biochemistry industries.
