Experience

Co-Founder

Maxwell Robotics GmbH

Co-founded Maxwell Robotics, a consulting and systems integration company for highly technical robotics and automation projects. Delivered projects spanning mobile robots, humanoid robotics, and automation for medical technology, for clients ranging from large enterprises to early-stage startups. Involved in both hands-on technical development and company management and operations.

Robotics Computer Vision Engineer

Seal Robotics

Developing autonomy systems for robots that secure containers in harbour operations, spanning perception, real-time control, and navigation.

Manufacture Intern

Ölhydraulische Fördertechnik Malsch GmbH

Gained hands-on experience across the manufacturing process for hydraulic lifts, including metalwork, welding, assembly, and CNC turning, working closely with skilled technicians to ensure precision in manufacturing and assembly.

Air Torque GmbH

CAD Engineer Intern

Designed and CAD modeled pneumatic actuators and limit switch boxes, and created detailed technical drawings in SolidWorks for customer orders and product manuals. Also produced instructional videos and animations for training courses and the company website, simplifying processes like driveshaft disassembly for clients and internal teams.

Manufacture Intern

Gained hands-on manufacturing experience producing pneumatic actuators, and developed technical drawings in SolidWorks to support communication between the manufacturing team and customers.

Engineer Intern

Silver Atena GmbH

At Silver Atena, I collaborated with a dynamic cross-functional team to design and implement a dispenser robot, playing a key role in optimizing a production line. This project directly reduced manufacturing time and slashed production costs. In addition, I was hands-on in the lab, conducting rigorous tests and inspections to ensure quality control, which boosted product efficiency and reliability. My experience also extended to cost analysis, where I helped identify and mitigate unexplained price hikes for key components, saving significant costs for the team.

German Aerospace Center (DLR)

Master Thesis Student | Computer Vision

Completed a Master's Thesis titled "Zero-Shot Model-Based Object Perception in Complex Scenes Using CAD Templates," developing a zero-shot 2D object detection framework using CAD templates instead of labeled training data. Built the Clutter6D synthetic dataset using BlenderProc for sim-to-real transfer. Submitted to ECCV 2026.

Computer Vision Research Intern

Worked as a working student at the DLR Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics, Department of Perception and Cognition, developing a model-based segmentation pipeline by integrating Meta's Segment Anything Model (SAM) with a correspondence model.
