Product Engineer
I love building great product. These days I own large parts of the app, product and design at telli, where our AI voice platform handles millions of calls. I'm studying Advanced Computing at Imperial College London, supported by DAAD and Alexander Spohn scholarships.
Before that, I spent two years at Anytype working on AI, the API, extensions and the CLI while studying IT-Systems Engineering at the Hasso Plattner Institute. My research there focused on probabilistic machine learning and making LLMs more efficient.
