Code. Lead. Innovate. That's been my journey. Through diverse domains, I've refined my skills from hands-on coding to dynamic team leadership. Together, let's redefine what's possible.
Inside the NDS group, I am leading a cross-functional engineering team, that builds the data-centric foundation of address & POI search and destination input for in-vehicle infotainment systems, with an increased interest in electric cars. While helping two former teams to grow together and positioning them inside a larger technology group, I support the individuals on their growth trajectory, foster collaboration with peers across the globe, conduct hiring interviews, cultivate agile methodologies and build software excellence inside and beyond the team in a cloud-first environment. In close collaboration with the product management and automotive customers we outline, plan and execute upon the roadmap. Besides that, I support senior management on aligning roadmaps, mitigating risks, identifying business opportunities and establishing new processes.

As part of the NDS Technologies Group I am working on creating state-of-the art maps for premium automotive navigation systems based on the industry-wide Navigation Data Standard (NDS). Together with an agile, europe-wide software development team I'm eliciting requirements, extending customization capabilities or ingesting new data sources - all of it in close collaboration with our automotive customers. Besides that I'm dedicated to support my team on their daily challenges by optimizing the processing pipeline or by extending existing or developing new tools to simplify development and QA. Additionally, I'm involved in technical interviews and answering RFQs.

As part of the Map Compilation Team, I was developing for a proprietary processing pipeline that integrates worldwide geographic map data (terrain, 3d, traffic, routing, search, ...) from a multitude of sources and creates final map formats that are suitable for high-throughput/low-latency backend services as well as offline scenarios in embedded navigation devices. [c++11, intel tbb, parallel programming, stl, boost, geospatial data, computational geometry, compression, algorithms, sql, oracle, occi, sqlite, linux, jenkins, jira, git, mercurial, python, scons, cmake]
I worked on models for analysis and prediction of Twitter tweets, covering language detection, geo-location based estimation and hot topic prediction. Additionally, I was involved in the preparation and organization of the student contest "SAP Coding Masters 2012". This included inventing technical tasks for the contestants as well as giving advice during the event. [twitter, bigdata, python, scipy, java, machine-learning, sql]
I worked on projects related to SAP's in-memory platform HANA and new programming models for in-memory computing. Among other research projects, I led a small team of fellow interns to develop an object relational mapper library for Python services on SAP's in-memory database. [python, sql, sap hana, in-memory databases, c, c++, orm]
As a supervising tutor for the university course “Operating Systems” I was responsible for mentoring other students and evaluating assignments. Inside the research group I worked on the analysis of the Windows kernel regarding its scalability in many-core environments. I also developed a framework for tracing native 64-bit applications and was involved in the development of a web platform for operating-system-experiments inside a virtualized cloud infrastructure.
