Hey!

I'm Tristan, a 19-year-old student at the TUM School of Management.

A few key stepping stones on my journey so far have been:

• "early-studying" computer science at TUM through a special program when I was 15 and still in high school
• winning second prize at a regional Youth Researches competition by building a Covid19 air purification system using UVC LEDs
• getting into Check24's IT Scholarship and also interned there for 3 months as a data scientist after graduating high school
• winning second prize in the second round of Germany's National Computer Science Competition and participating in the qualification process to select Germany's delegation for the International Olympiad in Informatics 2025
• spending a semester at Cal State Northridge in LA, taking classes in business and philosophy

Today, my interest centers on how technological advances can be translated into valuable solutions for real-world problems.
