SHORT VITA

I earned my B.Sc. in Games Engineering from the TUM. Following this, I pursued my master’s degree in the elite graduate „Software Engineering“ program. My interest in teaching and sharing knowledge resulted in working as a teaching assistant during both my bachelor and master studies for several different courses and culminated in being responsible for the practical section of TUM’s Introduction to Computer Science course with over 1000 participants.

Upon completing my studies, I joined the fintech scale-up QPLIX as a Senior Software Engineer. In this role, I focus on continuously improving the performance of our algorithms and leading the internal Developers Academy, which aims to upskill our software developers and engineers.

In 2024 I did my first talk at a conference, talking about the challenges and opportunities working as an openly trans woman in a very male dominated sector.
