About

I'm a software engineer in Vienna with a mathematics background. I joined Erste Digital, Erste Group's technology subsidiary, as an intern in February 2024 and have been a Software Engineer there since September 2024. I lead an internal AI accelerator team whose pipeline turns legacy Natural/Adabas mainframe code into as-is documentation, generated Java/OSB integration connectors and review-ready pull requests. Static analysis, generated tests, code-vs-documentation checks and mandatory human review are built in. So far it has delivered five complete use cases and 10+ connectors and cut typical use-case cycle time by over 80%. I also maintain customer-data services and own production incidents in a regulated banking environment.

I completed my BSc in Mathematics at the University of Vienna in the standard six semesters while working. My thesis, written within the Bachelor seminar and graded 1, built quantum neural networks in Qiskit and PyTorch for financial forecasting, with a reproducible pipeline benchmarked on 121 held-out days against classical baselines. I'm now in the MSc, focusing on martingale optimal transport and model calibration. At WUTIS, a Vienna student investment society, I led two project teams and ran coding workshops.

Outside work I build research systems. Pulse, my solo crypto-perpetuals stack, runs 24/7 on a Raspberry Pi 5. Its research program counted 1,871 trials, logged every new test in a hash-chained ledger before it ran and deflated every result for the full count. Its one surviving book reached a Sharpe ratio of 3.45 on the 2026 holdout (backtest) before my own adversarial review downgraded it, and the short working paper reports both.
