  #### Profile
39
  Innovation enthusiast, AI-strategist, and interdisciplinary-tech nerd – that's me! With over a decade of experience in research and project management, my professional journey has been largely shaped by my passion for artificial intelligence and its potential to transform various industries. With a solid background in artificial intelligence and machine learning, coupled with a knack for innovation and problem-solving (and a healthy dose of curiosity), I'm excited to bring my skills to a new team.

41
  Originally from Australia, where I earned my degrees in Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, I moved to Germany in 2004. My academic pursuit continued with a Ph.D. in Chemistry at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry. Today, I leverage my robust educational background and diverse industry experience to drive AI innovations in a wide range of applications. Hobbies? Lots: I've also built the world's most powerful espresso machine and am working to bring [GLaDOS to life](https://github.com/dnhkng/GlaDOS).
