About me

Hi, I'm Adrian! I am a PhD student in the Machine Learning Group at TU Berlin, where my research interests lie in automatic differentiation and explainable AI. I'm a huge fan of the Julia programming language and its community.

I like to spend my free time on open-source software, Go, good coffee and my bike. Some day I'm going to find the time to learn Rust.
