Summary

As a results-driven software engineer with over five years of experience, I excel in solving complex problems and contributing to business growth through the development of high-quality software solutions. At SimCorp, a leader in integrated investment management solutions, I specialized in the Investment Management software . Here, I significantly improved efficiency and implemented new features, particularly as a backend developer utilizing C#. Next, I enrolled in my master's degree at the prestigious Denmark Technical University, where I pursued a Master's in Computer Science and Engineering. During this program, I conducted a research project titled 'Towards Artificial Neural Network-Based Intrusion Detection with Enhanced Hyperparameter Tuning,' which was published in the reputable IEEE Xplore digital library. Post-master's, I embraced the challenge of Saxo Bank's graduate program, transitioning to a full-time Front-End Developer role in their Trading API team. In this dynamic environment, I played a key role in delivering important features that not only increased customer satisfaction but also substantially improved platform usability. I am eager to bring my proven track record and passion for innovation to a dynamic team where I can make meaningful contributions.
