Über mich

In my childhood, I kept inventing machines that help with repetitive tasks. Drawing them on paper and building them with Lego helped me figure out the details. I still share the same curiosity and passion for analyzing problems and finding creative, innovative solutions leading to patent applications. With my constant interest in learning more, I followed a coherent path from my school time to my latest academic degree. It started with electronic circuits and programming, then digital signal processing, specializing in wireless systems, culminating in mmWave communications, statistical data analysis, and machine learning. I gained over 15 years of professional experience with wireless communications standards from the depths of physical layer processing, MIMO, and mmWave beamforming, up to system and network architectural topics. Proficiency in MATLAB and experience in Python help me with data science and analysis topics for supporting strategic expert decisions. Only positions in CH!
