I am a Data Scientist & AI Engineer at Provinzial, where I work on the enterprise GenAI platform, document processing, RAG, MCP infrastructure, and domain-specific AI products. I translate business needs into AI use cases, design end-to-end solutions, carry out compliance assessments, and seek to promote GenAI adoption across the organization.

I am driven by a deep curiosity and approach my work with a scientific mindset. I enjoy hard problems, cross-team collaboration, and constantly learning new things.

I hold a Ph.D. in Accounting from the University of Münster. In my research, I have focused on measurement problems in accounting. I have designed and taught courses on machine learning, data literacy, and insurance economics.
