Skillset

In 2018, I moved to Vienna to start a master’s program in Bioinformatics. During this period, I secured my first job and prioritized my independence. From 2020 to 2022, I developed a keen interest and gained experience in histopathology.

In 2022, I joined Sakura Finetek as a Product Specialist in Advanced Staining vulgo Immunohistochemistry. I was responsible for customer support, gathering feedback, and delivering solutions through daily root-cause analysis.

As a solution-oriented innovator driven by curiosity, I possess a unique and valuable skill set, with three years of specialized experience in histopathology and immunohistochemistry, complemented by proficiency in customer support.

Since 2024, I work at the University of Salzburg as a Technical Assistant, where I am able to delve into as interesting as useful topics like user management, building infrastructure and orchestring containers. It helped me realize my first automation solution for the lab, the Paparazzo, a device to automate photo-documentation of pelagial cell samples.

My time as a fisherman gave me the opportunity to gain insights in the field of Ichtyology and made me interested in behaviour observation.

I am a Mycology enthusiast, be it mushroom hunting in the forest, growing mushrooms in the homelab or examining extremophiles somewhere in life-threatening enviromental conditions.

Although my skillset is rather broad than high, the sum of these traits make me thrive in building things and grow the most.

I am driven by curiosity and fascinated by the rapidly advancing world of medical devices. My strong ability to adapt, gather feedback data, and deliver solutions positions me best in non-routine work processes. I am both a biologist and a developer.

From an early age, I was captivated by nature and the sciences. Throughout my studies and career, I've developed core competencies in histology, physiology, and immunology, while also bridging gaps to automation and data processing in interdisciplinary areas involving computer science.

I was born in 1988 in Zwiesel, Germany. My family moved from the Bayrischer Wald region to Rottal, where my parents started a veterinary business. In 2009, I finished school in Pfarrkirchen and moved to Salzburg to pursue a bachelor's program in Biology. I lived and worked in Salzburg until 2017 when I graduated.

In 2018, I moved to Vienna to start a master's program in Bioinformatics. During this period, I secured my first job and prioritized my independence. From 2020 to 2022, I developed a keen interest and gained experience in histopathology.
