Background & Trajectory
Experience & Milestones
From overcoming 28 initial rejections to securing 1 of only 17 global seats at the University of Göttingen, my engineering journey is defined by systematic iteration, mathematical foundations, and grit.
The Merit-Based Path: From 28 Rejections to 1 of 17 Global Seats
- No Consultancies, Zero Debt: Chose German public universities over debt-heavy traditional routes to build a career based on merit.
- Debugging Rejection: Faced 28 initial rejections for Winter 2024. Re-evaluated admission criteria, targeted 8 selective programs, and earned 4 offers.
- Top-Tier Selection: Secured 1 of 17 global seats for M.Sc. Applied Computer Science at the University of Göttingen; awarded the Deutschlandstipendium Scholarship (2025–2026).
- Engineering Mindset: When pipelines break or technical obstacles arise, I don't give up. I debug systematically, adapt, and build the solution.
