Technische Universität Berlin (TUB), Master of Science

Grade: TBA

During my master's degree, I specialized in Data and Software Engineering, with a strong emphasis on database systems and information management. I had the opportunity to dive into cutting-edge research areas like Cloud & Fog Computing and Blockchain Technologies. One of my proudest achievements was earning the Best Paper Award for my research on Blockchain in a competitive course setting. For my master's thesis, I'm planning to explore State Management at the Edge using Microsoft's FASTER technology.

Boğaziçi University (BOUN), Erasmus Exchange

An Erasmus exchange in my masters provided me with the opportunity to deepen my expertise in Big Data Systems while also broadening my knowledge in other areas. I had the privilege of attending the Interactive Systems Engineering course, taught by Mustafa Doğa Doğan, PhD, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This course led to the development of SpeckleRobot, a project focused on enabling robots to identify object materials from speckle images using Deep Neural Networks.

Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT), Bachelor of Science

Grade: 2.3

At the time of my bachelor's degree at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), I gained essential hard and soft skills that prepared me for both academia and the professional world. My education ignited a strong interest in Software Engineering and Software Architecture, leading me to write my thesis on 'A Mobility Case Study for Validating Attack Propagation Analyses.' This work, published in KIT's e-library, involved creating a case study that enhances the ability to analyze attack propagation within software architectural models.

Boğaziçi University (BOUN), Erasmus Exchange

My first Erasmus exchange during university provided a valuable opportunity to expand my academic horizons. Among the courses I took, the Machine Learning and Human-Computer Interaction courses were particularly impactful. It allowed me to find my interests.

SAP Potsdam, Working Student

During my time at SAP, I was part of the Master of Data Integration (MDI) Team, where we focused on implementing and maintaining a multi-tenant cloud service for data integration across various services. My primary role involved developing a Code Generator that transformed SAP's internal data model definitions into Java files. To accomplish this, I worked with Abstract Syntax Trees in ReasonML and utilized the Nunjucks Templating Engine for output generation. I also implemented custom serialization and deserialization solutions between Java and Apache Avro. My responsibilities extended to testing in Java, as well as documenting and presenting my work.

Novatec Consulting GmbH, Working Student

I worked as a Backend Developer for the open-source project 'TASKANA,' where my tech stack included Java 11, Spring Boot, and Camunda. I also worked with databases like Postgres and H2. My primary responsibility was the adapter module, for which I served as the main point of contact, addressing customer demands and requirements. Implementing these customer requirements was particularly motivating for me. I collaborated with an agile, distributed team, and my role also involved reviewing pull requests as part of our development process.

CAS Software AG, Student Assistant

I had the exciting opportunity to work in the 'Future Labs' at CAS, where we explored cutting-edge ideas and technologies. In this role, I focused on data science and graph analytics, working with knowledge graphs under the 'find, not search' principle. I used the Neo4j graph database to query and analyze these knowledge graphs in Python, and also worked with technologies like NetworkX and Gephi. My tasks included implementing graph algorithms and embeddings for machine learning. The insights from these analyses were delivered to clients through a web application I developed using Python, Flask, and D3.js.
