TL;DR
I am currently writing my bachelor thesis on the efficient computation of three-parameter Euler characteristic profiles in the field of topological data analysis (TDA).
Since March 2025 I am working as a student assistant at TUM for the interuniversity SASIM collaboration. 

My primary mathematical interests are TDA, algebraic topology, category theory, and abstract algebra. 

Apart from my studies, I am extremely curious about design, particularly typography. 

I also enjoy bird photography with an old Nikon D200. 

When I have more free time, I like to work on various coding projects most of which can be found on my GitHub account, @mazmap.
Proficiencies
Right now, I am most comfortable with Java, Python and JavaScript. I have worked with Typescript and Dart (Flutter) before. I version all my digital projects with Git. Starting with my bachelors thesis I started to use Neovim and have not went back since.
Projects

Here’s a list of things I have worked on or am currently still working on:

gaussEx.sty Github: Reimplementation and expansion of the LaTeX 2𝜀 package gauss in LaTeX3 (expl3) syntax by modern conventions.

Schnupperstunde Mathematik Github: A-level exam script in LaTeX for mathematics, designed to teach students the true core of mathematics – far beyond "school mathematics". Based on my own script from 12th grade Shortlink to OneDrive.
