What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a fully remote, part-time or contract role.

At Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR), I developed parts of Python workflows for atmospheric correction of multi- and hyperspectral satellite data using PACO.

I optimized Python modules with NumPy and Numba, improving interpolation performance compared with previous implementations.

I also contributed per-pixel angular input functionality to the CHIME PACO open-source library, planned for CHIME processing.

For my bachelor thesis, I studied retrieving water quality parameters from satellite-based hyperspectral and multispectral data, using the Gaborone Dam as a case study. I also contributed to the student travel website tabicat.co.uk, focusing on structure, styling, and user-facing implementation.
