About

Hi! I'm a human who explores creativity, structure, determination, and connection through the roles of linguist, designer, and programmer.

Currently, I study computational linguistics in the master's program, Language Science and Technology, at Saarland University. I contribute to work in linguistics research & build software projects to answer questions about language and human-computer interaction. For a thrill to my curiosity, I inspect websites and marvel at the canvas of web-based experiences.

In other words: I study language as a phenomenal computation of human connectiveness, I design with attentive intention, and I code to solve puzzles (and have fun).
