ML engineer and applied AI researcher, currently doing my M.Sc. in Data Science & AI at Saarland University and working part-time in data science at ORBIS Value+ in Saarbrücken. I work across the full pipeline (dataset construction, model benchmarking, evaluation design) in NLP and computer vision, with a bias toward measurements you can reproduce and systems that know when to distrust themselves.

Real-time yoga pose estimation with a hybrid MoveNet architecture, first-author, Sādhanā (Indian Academy of Sciences, Springer, 2025). A Thunder-train, Lightning-infer split that classifies 11 asanas at 98.8% test accuracy (98.4% verified on the shipped quantized model; reproduce it with verify_model.py) while holding 30+ FPS on consumer hardware.

• molca-reproduction: A reproduction of MolCA (EMNLP 2023), a language model that reads molecules both as text and as graphs. Reproduced on two machines (62.32 and 62.77 BLEU-2 against the paper's 62.0), then the experiment the paper never ran: give it one molecule's text and another molecule's graph. It describes the graph's molecule in about 90% of the cases where it clearly picks one. Write-up
• arabic-doc-triage-research: Benchmarking Arabic OCR (Surya, PaddleOCR) and Arabic-to-German translation on an 8 GB laptop GPU. KITAB-Bench evaluation, confidence-based failure routing and the safety signals a triage pipeline needs before its output reaches a human decision. Write-up
• dodi-analysis: DODI, a deterministic index scoring how hard a platform's Terms of Service works to hide that "Buy now" means "revocable licence". Ten platforms across 2015–2024, checked against ToS;DR's human grades and three LLM judges from two vendors. v2 weighs each contract against what the store actually promised, using archived purchase pages. Also runs as an MCP server, so AI agents can call the scorer as a tool. Write-up · LLM-judge write-up
• dodi-web: the DODI scorer shipped as a public web service: FastAPI app, Dockerized, test suite, CI on every push, deployed on Render. Score any ToS live
• p2p-process-mining: Process mining on the public BPI Challenge 2019 purchase-to-pay log (251,734 order items, 1.6M events): throughput, matching-rule compliance, after-the-fact purchase orders, payment blocks, manual work, variants and a process map. Write-up
• Shadow-Correction-DaS-Project: Quantitative study of piracy as a market signal for the Data and Society seminar.
