At present, I am a Senior Researcher at the Institute for Interactive Technologies at FHNW.

I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Bern. Between 2018 and 2022, I was a member of the Software Composition Group led by Prof. Oscar Nierstrasz. My work primarily focuses on software and requirements engineering, with a strong interest in UX, digital sustainability, applied AI, and improving agile way of development.
