About
Hello there! I'm a software engineer, working as a research associate at the Institute for Interactive Technologies at FHNW in Basel. I build web, real-time 3D, XR and machine learning software with industry partners, and I aid in teaching and supervision of student projects.
Outside of work I travel, take photos and tinker with small hardware and software projects at home.

2025 – now
Software Engineer (Research Associate)
Full-time position. I built a CesiumJS tool that aligns swisstopo building meshes, terrain, LiDAR point clouds and scanned floorplans in one georeferenced 3D view, and I'm currently training U-Net segmentation models for ultrasonic imaging data with an industry partner. I also built the institute's interactive information display, from concept to installed hardware. I co-lead two Unity and XR courses and supervise semester projects and bachelor's theses.

Master's Degree & Research Assistant
Research Assistant (50-60% position) while pursuing a Master's degree in Engineering with specialization in Computer Science, completed in September 2024. Alongside my studies I built a browser-based light simulator for a lighting manufacturer and AR and VR apps for Solextron AG's solar layout tool. My thesis was titled "Hand-tracked 3D Data Selection of Point Clouds in XR": a Unity XR application that uses signed distance fields to select regions of any shape in real time.
