OVERVIEW

About me

I'm currently finishing pursuing my MSc in Computer Engineering at TU Wien, where I specialize in high-performance computing, mobile robotics, and ML. My passion lies in building real-time & autonomous systems that are both efficient and reliable.

SELECTED WORK

Portfolio projects

A few highlights. Open the full page for case-study detail.

Fluid Solver Optimization (CPU, OpenMP, CUDA)

Reduced runtime 30.85s → 3.69s (8.36×) on CPU; best OpenMP ~10.77× at ~16-24 threads; CUDA kernels reached ~90.16 GiB/s.

Optimized a 3D Stable Fluids solver end-to-end: (1) CPU locality + ILP (loop reordering, tiling, division to mult), (2) shared-memory parallelism with OpenMP (collapse, reductions, static scheduling; Red/Black Gauss-Seidel), (3) GPU acceleration with CUDA (persistent device memory, kernelized solver steps, Nsight-guided tuning). Profiled bottlenecks and scalability with perf/gprof and Nsight.

MPI Allgather+Merge on a Cluster (Bruck vs Circulant)

Implemented and benchmarked 3 Allgather+merge variants up to 640 ranks; parallel variants delivered ~1.5×–2× average speedup, with Circulant typically 10–30% faster than Bruck.

Built a sequential baseline (MPI_Allgather + p-way merge) and two allgather-merge algorithms (generalized Bruck and Circulant). Optimized merge and memory traffic (loser-tree merge, SoA layout, ping-pong buffers), implemented non-blocking and pipelined communication, and analyzed scaling limits (eager threshold/rendezvous handshakes, synchronization walls) on the Hydra cluster at TUW over multiple node/process configurations and message sizes.

Graphics Engine / OpenGL Rendering

Lean pipeline with VBO rendering and expressive geometry primitives.

Built an XML-driven engine featuring VBO-based rendering, Catmull-Rom splines, Bézier patches, and common lighting/mapping techniques.

Autonomous Racing (F1TENTH, ROS2)

1st place and 3rd place in autonomous racing challenges; delivered real-time navigation with SLAM+LiDAR and robust control in ROS2.

Integrated SLAM, obstacle avoidance, and path tracking (Pure Pursuit, Disparity Extender) with ROS2 tooling, telemetry, and reproducible test runs for rapid iteration.

Custom Anti-Cheat System

Tournament ops at scale with automated integrity checks.

Hosted a 180-player online event and integrated third-party API signals into an anti-cheat workflow and reporting pipeline.

DNS System (Resolver + Primary/Secondary + Zone Transfer)

Implemented a DNS-like distributed naming service with recursive/iterative resolution, caching, and TCP-based zone transfer between primary and secondary servers.

Built a multi-component DNS system in Python: client queries over UDP; resolver performs iterative/recursive resolution via root/top-level/authoritative servers; primary and secondary servers support replication via a custom TCP zone-transfer protocol. Implemented structured config/data parsing, logging, and a cache layer; organized components using an MVC-style module split.
