Short CV
In 2021, I completed my diploma in Computer Science and Software Engineering at HTL Donaustadt with highest distinction. Afterwards, I began working in Investment Banking / Quantitative Finance for the certificates team at Raiffeisen Bank International (formerly known as Raiffeisen Centrobank), developing tools for Structuring & Trading while studying Business Informatics at the UAS Technikum Vienna. During this time, I participated in a study abroad programme at Iowa State University, where I was placed on the 2022 Dean's List.
After returning in early 2023, I started working as a Software Engineer at IBM, where I got involved in developing AI Solutions for enterprise customers in the steel manufacturing industry. In the same year, I enrolled in the Master’s programmes for Software Engineering at UAS Technikum and Computer Science at Università degli Studi Guglielmo Marconi.
In 2024, I began working for the City of Vienna at the Magistrate's Finance Department (MA 5), where I served in the Strategy Unit. In this role, I led the department’s digitalization efforts, acting as advisor to the Financial Director and project manager for two key strategic projects, under direct orders by the Financial Director and the Executive City Councillor for Finance. During this time, I also enrolled in the Master’s programme for Information and Media Law at the University of Vienna’s Faculty of Law (Juridicum).
Since May 2025, I'm working as an independent contractor for the public insurance sector. In the same year, I started my roles as lecturer at the UAS Technikum Vienna and as professor at TGM, teaching Software Engineering, Project Management, and Big Data.
Personal
In my off time, I enjoy developing side-projects, for example in areas like AI and Algorithmic Trading. Besides, I engage in volunteer work around topics I care about, for example regularly representing my university at Austria's largest annual education fair (BeSt Vienna). I am also proud to be appointed as a 1st Deputy National and EU Returning Officer for the 2024 election year and am a member of the IEEE and the Foreign Policy and United Nations Association of Austria. Additionally, I am very happy to serve as an appointed member of the Federal Austrian National Union of Students' Special Projects (ÖH SoPro) committee for the 2025/26 period.
