GermanyWhat I'm looking for
I’m a PhD-qualified lecturer and consultant in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision, currently teaching at SRH University Berlin, University of Europe for Applied Sciences, and IU Group, where I design courses on Large Language Models, Agentic AI, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, Prompt Engineering, and Computer Vision.
My MBA in AI complements this technical background, letting me bridge research with real-world business applications. Over 8+ years I’ve built and deployed AI systems, authored publications, and hold 3 patents in AI/computer vision.
Before moving fully into AI, I worked in embedded and testing-focused environments, including a work-student role at Lautsprecher Teufel and part-time work at PERCOM, covering test specification, system/component testing, and incident response.
Earlier in my career I led product R&D at Tharaha IT Solutions in Bengaluru (RTL coding, VLSI, video/audio processing) and held academic roles at Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology researching VLSI/FPGA and embedded systems.
