Scroll through the story
School was the starting point, not the whole story.
Six stops where theory, people and production gradually came together.

I stepped into community work
I learned that technical growth does not happen through classes alone; bringing people together makes everyone grow much faster.

Academic focus
The subjects that stayed with me.
Instead of publishing every course on a transcript, I group the curriculum into the three areas that most shaped how I build.
01
Computer science foundations
Breaking complex systems into structures, constraints and algorithms before implementation.
- Algorithms & Data Structures
- Graph Theory
- Operating Systems
- Computer Networks
- Distributed Algorithms
02
Data & decision systems
Working with uncertain, multi-variable problems through statistics, optimisation and scoring methods.
- Data Mining
- Multivariate Data Analysis
- Combinatorial Optimisation
- Fuzzy Logic
- Game Theory
03
Applied software engineering
Turning theory into interfaces, services and reliable systems that can be tested and operated.
- Object-Oriented Design
- Mobile Programming
- Web Programming
- Embedded Systems
- Software Testing & Verification

Dormify
A personalised student dormitory decision support system
Students were losing time across outdated websites, conflicting comments and choices that were difficult to compare. As a team, we built a mobile product that ranks dormitories according to each student's priorities instead of presenting the same list to everyone.

Research
We surveyed nearly 200 university students to understand the factors that most influence dormitory choice.
Data collection
We combined web scraping with direct research and calls to fill gaps and structure a 21-variable dataset.
Decision model
Haversine distance, min-max normalisation and the Simple Additive Weighting method produced a personalised score.
Mobile product
We brought the model into a cross-platform flow with preferences, ranked results, maps, favourites and dormitory details.

DEU Computer Science & AI Community
Founding member · President / Corporate Relations
I helped establish the community and worked on the less visible infrastructure that keeps one alive: partner relationships, sponsorship conversations, career events and bringing students together around technology.

What it became
The theory matters most when it survives contact with a real product.
That academic foundation now shows up in how I design mobile products, model backend flows and make technical decisions.
