Open Source GraphQL Algorithm Innovation

I invented, prooved its correctness, and published a vastly more performant algorithm for GraphQL field selection merging that has since been implemented in multiple open-source GraphQL servers. I published it in September 2019 and opened a PR for Sangria GraphQL to add it as an experimental query validation.

B.Sc. Informatics

I studied Informatics at the University of Hamburg from October 2006 to July 2011 and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Informatics.

In my thesis The Implementation of Facial Recognition for Mobile Service Robots, I reviewed face recognition algorithms and developed and implemented an architecture that did face-tracking on a smart-camera and enriched that with face recognition information from a remote server.

During my studies, I supported the Software Development III and Formal Foundations of Informatics I courses as a teaching assistant and assisted in the HEROLD research project within the group for theoretical foundations of informatics.
