About Me

I am an M.Sc. Autonomy Technologies student at FAU with a B.Sc. in Mechatronics Engineering and hands-on experience in industrial automation, control systems, embedded systems, and robotics. I work with Siemens PLCs and TIA Portal, MATLAB/Simulink, ROS, SolidWorks, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi, and I'm particularly interested in autonomous and robotic systems that combine perception, control, embedded hardware, and AI.
