As a former researcher adept at problem-solving and with extensive experience collaborating with cross-functional teams.

## Work Experience
### Engineer @ Stand
Jan 2024 – Present | San Francisco, CA
Building a large-scale physics and ML-based automated insurance quoting system that uses property-specific data to incentivice mitigation strategies. Stack includes python, typescript, Go, Kubernetes, docker.

### Founding Engineer @ Luminary Cloud
Jan 2020 – Jan 2024 | San Mateo, California, United States
Development of a high-performance CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis and optimization cloud platform. Responsible for the initial version of the GPU solver written in C++ and Cuda. Additional tasks include the implementation of the communication protocol of the solver component with the backend (go/grpc/protobuf), post-processing of the solution data (C++/threading) and frontend development (Typescript/React).

### Developer Director/Executive Board Member @ SU2 Foundation
Jan 2019 – Jan 2024
Coordination of voluntary work in a non-profit organization 
(https://su2foundation.org) focused on research and education in engineering sciences. Part of the organizing team for the annual SU2 conference.

### Developer @ SU2: The Open-Source CFD code
Jan 2018 – Jan 2024
Management, maintenance and general code development of the open-source CFD code SU2. Major contributions included a replacement of the build system (meson and ninja) and the addition of automated testing (Travis CI) and distribution (docker).

### Research assistant @ Technische Universität Kaiserslautern
Jan 2014 – Jan 2020 | Kaiserslautern
Extended the open-source CFD software package SU2 
(https://su2code.github.io) to be able to compute gradients in an automatic fashion using Algorithmic Differentiation on HPC platforms. This involved the application of advanced C++17 templating features as well as modifications to the existing distributed parallel communication layer (MPI) to enable the reversal of the computational graph.

### Intern @ Siemens
Jan 2010 – Jan 2011 | Mühlheim an der Ruhr


## Education
### Master of Science - MS in Computational Engineering Science
RWTH Aachen University
