Currently I focus on preparing and deploying machine images for AWS and linux machines, as well as
distributed systems and IoT to enable innovative use of existing devices and workflows. I intend to
complete my master in a software- or data-centric subject and build data-centric applications to aid
people in their work. With my professional sports experience, I've proven that I am a good team player
and that I strive to work with the big picture and customers' benefit in mind.
