Summary

Hi! I am an engineer, economist, and self-taught software developer. After working as an economist at a multinational company, I returned to engineering and am pursuing an MSc in Environmental, Process and Energy Engineering at MCI Innsbruck, focusing on wastewater treatment and practical process engineering challenges. I believe engineering should improve lives and make economic sense.

Current projects

Bioversee

The original idea came when I had to work with a bioreactor manufactured in the 1970s by a former professor. I thought I could create a modern, user-friendly control panel and connect it to this old machine.

Smart Grid Simulator

Right now the Smart Grid Simulator behaves more like a lightweight game than a production control tool. The goal is to evolve it into a practice environment for engineering students: it explains core smart-grid concepts and gives rough estimates of build-out cost and operating revenue.
