About Me
I am a 24-year-old CS Student at Heinrich-Heine University Düsseldorf, currently in my last semester. My passion lies in Deep Learning, particularly in Natural Language Processing (Search and Retrieval) and Computer Vision (autonomous driving). But my main aspiration is to build and work on awesome things that will enrich the lives of as many people as possible in the upcoming Intelligence Age.
I am also really into Nogi Grappling and learning Japanese (Currently A2 level). I also use Linux btw.
