What I'm looking for

I’m available for full-time work in about two months and am open to relocating.

At Perinet, I built the hybrid retrieval and evaluation layer behind PeriChat, measuring retrieval speed, generation quality, and model trade-offs. I also developed Python and Go services that connect LLM workflows to live MQTT sensor streams.

In my independent work and M.Sc. thesis research at BTU Cottbus, I build RAG and multi-agent systems, including an adaptive German tutor. I’m first author of a paper on adaptive ViT token compression presented at DSD 2026.
