Aachen, Germany · open to working-student & graduate roles
Software engineer with four years across full-stack product teams — most recently at trivago, now a scientific assistant at RWTH Aachen while finishing an MS in Data Science.
I work across the whole span of a problem — the data model underneath, the architecture in the middle, and the interface people actually touch. Alongside that: data science, AWS architecture and security.
I started out as a .NET developer in Gurugram, moved to Germany, and spent a year and a half at trivago building and maintaining the administration platform that advertisers and accommodations run on — React and TypeScript on top of a Node and GraphQL layer, with Vitest coverage on everything I shipped and SOX-compliant review on everything I touched.
Today I am a scientific assistant at RWTH Aachen's process-mining group, working on ToTEM, a Temporal Object-Type Miner for object-centric event logs. I implemented its Object-Centric Causal Nets: you point the tool at an OCEL and get back an interactive, auto-laid-out net you can actually explore.
What ties it together is wanting to understand the layer below the one I am working on. That is what led me into data science, AWS architecture and security.
Outside work I write small, self-contained tools for problems I personally have. Two of them, Lamplight and RoadReady, started exactly that way.

Remote
roadready.online · TypeScript
A free, browser-based course for the German driving theory test. Most apps just drill the official question catalogue at you — RoadReady teaches the rule first, then tests you on it, following the 14-module curriculum German driving schools are legally required to teach.
Every traffic sign is drawn in code so it stays crisp at any size, and driving situations are generated from data rather than described in a paragraph. The whole interface speaks all 13 languages the official exam is offered in — Arabic included, right-to-left and all — because it was built for people learning to drive in a second language.
German is complete, down to the 30-question mock exam with the official error-point weighting. France is next.
lamplight.ink · single-file HTML
A one-page PDF reader that redraws papers in calm, low-glare colours. Reading white-background PDFs is a small floodlight pointed at your face; Lamplight re-renders every page in a quieter palette, with hue-preserving dark mode so a blue bar in a chart stays blue.
Open a file or paste an arXiv link, keep a shelf of papers with your place in each, and come back
tomorrow to find it waiting. Zero dependencies, zero build step, nothing uploaded anywhere — the
whole app is one index.html.
Google Cloud App Engine · Python
A resale-price predictor for the Indian used-car market. Enter city, year of purchase, kilometres driven, mileage, engine and power, and it estimates what the car is worth now.
The interesting half was upstream of the model: data cleaning, feature engineering and selection, encoding categorical variables and handling missing data. A linear regression model is trained, serialised with pickle, and served from Flask on GCP App Engine.
Real-time multiplayer game · TypeScript
A word game for up to eight people. Everyone types one word blind, and when the fifteen seconds are up they all land at once — match somebody and you both leave the circle.
The catch: a word that has been played can never be played again, by anyone. Nobody
can fall back on the obvious, so each round the group has to find a new middle —
king → messi → fifa.
Designing secure, high-performing, resilient and cost-optimised architectures on AWS — EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM and the rest of the core service set, applied to scalable, fault-tolerant solutions.
The part that stuck with me most is the cost dimension: optimising a workload for spend without quietly trading away security or availability.
Validation number · 29dc9cae60fa4208884a046c57792b41
Years of working through boxes with Kali, nmap, Burp Suite, Wireshark, Metasploit and a lot of patience — network security, web exploitation and OSINT.
1500+ on Chess.com. Mostly rapid, occasionally over the board.
150+ problems on LeetCode and a 6-star rating on HackerRank. Hackathons when they come up.
Badminton, cricket, tennis and softball — a lifelong habit of needing to be outside and moving for part of every week.
