02 / Profile
Master’s student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at RWTH Aachen, with a focus on immersive technologies, AI and machine learning, and audio signal processing. I hold a German-taught Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from FH Aachen, where I developed strong foundations in control engineering, measurement technology, automation, and technical problem-solving.
During my Bachelor’s studies, I gained hands-on experience in PLC-based automation and independently completed five automation projects, taking each one from schematic design through to commissioning. This strengthened my ability to understand technical systems, work methodically, and translate engineering concepts into functioning solutions.
Alongside my studies, I work as a working student at Kellermann Lighting GmbH & Co. KG, where I develop custom AI-powered automation tools for content production and maintain the Shopware 6 website. This role allows me to combine technical engineering with creative execution, streamlining marketing workflows through AI.
I am particularly interested in roles where engineering, AI, immersive technologies, and digital media come together, and where I can apply both my technical background and creative skills to develop useful, engaging, and well-executed solutions.

03 / Experience
Kellermann GmbH
Working Student · Online Marketing
Aachen
- Produce social media content (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook) including photography, videography, and post-production editing in DaVinci Resolve, including green screen compositing.
- Built and set up a green screen studio for product and content shoots.
- Use AI image tools (e.g. IC-Light) in the photo pipeline for background removal and lighting harmonization on product shots.
- Web development on the company's Shopware 6 site, contributing to an ongoing redevelopment.
- Started learning Blender for early-stage 3D product visualization work, still building skills here.
API GmbH
Working Student · Outbound Logistics
Germany
- Managed outbound shipments and kept inventory records up to date while studying full-time.
- Worked inside a fully automated warehouse, which gave me a practical, on-the-ground understanding of how Industry 4.0 principles actually get implemented, not just how they're described.
TSD Corporation Limited
Digital Marketing Intern
Remote
- Analysed campaign data and produced Excel reports for client projects.
Madhya Pradesh Electricity Board
Internship · Power Distribution
India
- Observed how electricity distribution for a city actually works end to end, from substations through to the distribution network.
- Got exposure to SCADA systems in a live operational setting, seeing how grid monitoring and control actually function in practice rather than just on paper.
Techniker Krankenkasse (TK)
Customer Advisor
Germany
- Handled sales for Techniker Krankenkasse.
04 / Education
RWTH Aachen University
M.Sc. Computer & Media Engineering
Aachen
- My specialisations are Extended Reality (VR/AR), AI and machine learning, and audio signal processing.
- In Virtual Reality 1 I worked on immersive application development and interaction techniques, including HMD integration.
- I'm currently doing lab work in Acoustic Virtual Reality, applying spatial audio and signal processing methods in Python and Jupyter Notebook.
- Other relevant modules: Introduction to AI, Digital Image Processing, Robotics & Human-Machine Interaction.
FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences
B.Eng. Electrical Engineering
Campus Jülich
- Specialisation in power engineering (Energietechnik)
- Thesis on India's energy mix, specifically non-CO₂ emitting sources including nuclear power (grade 2.3)
- Control and regulation engineering, measurement technology, and digital electronics were the modules I actually enjoyed
- Core coursework also included Applied Transmission Line Theory (1.0), Electrical Machines, Measurement Technology 1 & 2, and High Voltage Technology
- PLC lab (PC Worx, IEC 61131-3): five complete automation projects built independently, street lighting control, crane control, a water reactor simulation, a star-delta motor switching circuit, and an industrial wash cycle, each one taken from schematic design through programming to commissioning and documentation
- Used MATLAB/Simulink to model and simulate dynamic systems, including the water reactor, crane control, and traffic light systems, as a complement to the hands-on PLC work
