Engineering Sustainable Systems with Data and Digital Tools
I work at the intersection of infrastructure, data and sustainability, exploring how digital tools can improve planning, evaluation and decision-making in the built environment.
My background combines environmental engineering, international academic experience and hands-on project work across infrastructure and engineering projects in Austria and Switzerland.
I am particularly interested in how data-driven methods, automation and digital experimentation can support more sustainable and resilient systems.
About
I am an environmental engineering student based in Vienna, currently studying Cultural Engineering and Water Management at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU).
Alongside my studies, I gained practical experience in infrastructure and engineering projects, including tunnel engineering at Amberg Engineering AG in Zurich, where I worked on technical documentation, project calculations and BIM-supported workflows.
My academic path includes international programs at ETH Zurich and Stanford University, focusing on engineering design thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation in complex systems.
Beyond technical work, I have been actively engaged in leadership and international initiatives through Rotary and Rotaract, strengthening my interest in responsibility, collaboration and long-term impact.
