Check out my latest work (more coming soon...)
I've worked on a variety of projects, from backend microservices to machine learning pipelines Here are a few of my favorites.

Lanugage Learner Chrome Ext.
Since I have moved to Spain in August 2024 and I want to learn Spanish, I have built a chrome extension to provide me with translations of websites, the option to listen to a Spanish voice speaking the selected text and additional practice examples. It works with an LLM-API, as well as a Spanish Text-2-Speech API.
EOX IT Services GmbH: SIGMA (Satellite Intelligence for Green Monitoring and Analytics)
In cooperation with EOX IT Services GmbH, my team and I developed an AI pipeline to train and detect soil sealing in Austria. for the training data, we are using OSM & Sentinel-2 data (both open source). The results can be seen, but need to be slightly improved to be used for decision-makers. Feel free to contribute on Github:
Austrian Ministry of Interior: ctrlShift
In collaboration with the Austrian Ministry of Interior, my team and I developed a secure, full-stack shift-planning application (POC) within only 8 months. The success of the project led to further collaboration and letters of recommendation.

Climatics: Climate Change Opinion Research
With a team of other students we built a webscraper, preprocessing-pipeline and trained an AI model, in order to perform sentiment analysis about climate change (Classification of tweets into: News, Pro, Contra, Neutral). After obtaining our results from the AI model, we save them automatically in a MySQL database and built a website to display them. We were able to scraper over 250k tweets per hour.
Competitions & Awards
Competition time... Everything blurrs... There is just the problem statement, the team and our vision... That is exactly when things start to get interesting... What perspectives are important to consider? How can we build the best solution? How can we pitch it in a catching story? What are our USPs?

Public Speaking
Public speaking is one of my interests and I am always on the lookout for new opportunities to challenge myself in this regard. I've presented many of my projects at different conferences in German and English.

Green Business Disruption Summit 2024
At the Green Business Disruption Summit 2024, Dominik Fluch and I got the exciting opportunity to present our final HTL Spengergasse project, which aims to detect soil sealing (Bodenversiegelung) based on Sentinel-2 Satellite data using AI. It will soon be open-sourced. Soil sealing is a major threat to our planet and needs to be addressed and monitored(!) globally. The project is being realized with my team (Maximilian Wolf, Tobias Lendl, Lilia Gerber, Dominik Fluch) and in close collaboration with our project partner EOX IT Services GmbH which supported us very well.
