About

About Me

As an engineer physicist and M.Sc. student in Applied Mathematics, I am deeply motivated by challenges at the intersection of applied mathematics and computer science. My experience includes leading teams, managing projects, and making strategic decisions, all while maintaining a focus on innovation and problem-solving. I am adept at quickly mastering new tools and methodologies, enabling me to adapt effectively to dynamic situations. My strengths lie in designing and developing optimized, secure, and well-documented code, complemented by a collaborative approach to teamwork. During my graduate studies, I have gained practical expertise in computational techniques such as multithreading, high-performance computing, and numerical methods, along with sharpening my ability to debug and resolve complex technical issues.
