Research Fellow at Fraunhofer ISST

My journey at Fraunhofer ISST, a research facility with a focus on software and systems engineering, began during my master’s thesis. Starting as a student, I immersed myself in the practical aspects of my studies, which laid a strong foundation for my future career. After earning my master’s degree, I transitioned to a full-time software developer and data scientist role at the facility, contributing to various projects and initiatives.

In my role, I engaged in Java and Python software development, building robust applications and tools that met the high standards of our research objectives. My responsibilities also included data engineering, where I developed and maintained sovereign data ecosystems, ensuring secure and efficient data handling and processing.

I was actively involved in designing and optimizing continues integration workflows, which facilitated smooth deployment and integration processes. Working in an agile environment, I leveraged both Scrum and Kanban methodologies to manage and deliver projects efficiently, adapting to the dynamic needs of our research projects.

In addition to my technical work, I supervised students, guiding them through their projects, which enhanced their learning and contributed to our collective goals. I also represented our facility at a large logistics exhibition, managing our stand and demonstrating our innovations to industry professionals, which helped raise our profile and attract new collaborations.

Furthermore, I took part in interviewing prospective students, helping to identify new talent that could benefit from and contribute to our research environment. These experiences allowed me to grow as a professional, honing both my technical skills and my ability to mentor and lead others.
