AI Engineer
@ 21Minds GmbH, Stuttgart
Led AI feature ideation and engineered orchestration systems across multiple products. Built an LLM-powered assistant for event planning with a RAG pipeline integrated with MongoDB.
Leveraged Azure AI Foundry and LangChain to deploy working GenAI agents, utilizing LangSmith for prompt management, versioning, and AI response evaluation loops.
Built an automated live event direction system: fine-tuned RF-DETR for object detection (mAP ~48 → ~51) and implemented persistent multi-person tracking on LiveKit WebRTC streams.

Research Assistant
@ Fraunhofer IAO, Stuttgart
Designed a multi-agent LLM decision-support prototype (LangChain + custom Python orchestration) with RAG over user-uploaded documents (FAISS) and local-first web search via SearXNG.
Built a "Proactive HMI" multi-objective navigation and POI search prototype (Unity + HERE Maps): translated natural language user intents into weighted-scoring and rule-constrained ranking.
Patent filed (co-inventor): "Proactive Combined Search for Navigation Point-of-Interests (POIs)" — Fraunhofer IAO.
