What I'm looking for

I’m looking for work focused on AI agents and applied LLMs, robotics and automation software, or computer vision at the intersection of hardware, software, and AI.

At TESTA MOTARI Automotive GmbH, I build intelligent embedded and robotics systems for industrial automation. I developed a YOLOv8-based part-detection system that drives robot control, then built toward a full vision pipeline from data capture through live inference and tracking.

I also developed an autonomous AMR/AGV and UR10 system with AI vision, real-time robot control, and a modular control architecture. My projects include a 3D path-analysis and optimization tool for UR robot programs, which reconstructs tool paths and exposes path reviews to an AI agent.

I build intelligent embedded and robotics systems for industrial automation — from low-level microcontroller control up to autonomous robot systems and AI-driven optimization. I started with computer vision and have since grown into full autonomous multi-robot systems.

Selected work:
• Built an ISELED LED test system with a multi-MCU architecture (UART/I2C communication) and automated fault diagn
