... studied development studies at the University of Vienna and received a Bachelor of Arts degree. Continuing with historical studies at the University of Vienna, the master’s degree program he enrolled in had a focus on digital humanities and global history. His master thesis, with the title "A global perspective: Singapore migration and labor recruitment networks", applied several digital methods. Among them, GIS is for mapping migration and statistical analysis with empirical census data. The master’s program was concluded by receiving a Master of Arts degree in early 2021.

As a research data and software engineer (RDE/RSE) at the ACDH (then ACDH-CH), he supports research projects with the development and implementation of digital methods for digital editions, corpora, linked (open) data, data curation and machine learning (AI).

He collaborates in projects of the research units DH Research & Infrastructure (2020 – today), Musicology (2021 – 2024), Literary & Print Culture Studies (2024 – today) and Linguistics (2025 – today).
