About Me
People describe me as open, hardworking, customer friendly, and even under pressure I continue to perform well. I like working with other people and to reach great results. However, I am also able to work efficiently on my own. I’m flexible and I easily adjust to changing circumstances.
Within AI, I am interested in deep learning, computer vision, evolutionary computing, and natural language processing.

A Little More About Me
I enjoy rock climbing even though I’m slightly afraid of heights. I also enjoy making music, having tried a large number of instruments (from piano to bagpipes). Besides that, I like reading and playing board games.
