Hi! I'm Jannik, a 28-year-old Media Computer Scientist and Computer Graphics Engineer from Germany.
I recently finished my Master's at the University of Tübingen, having gained invaluable practical experience in 3D computer graphics, filmmaking, Unreal pipeline building, AI and motion capture.
Now I'm excited for new fascinating challenges overlapping creativity and technological innovation.
If you happen to have any question regarding me, my projects or anything else, feel free to contact me. I'm always happy to respond :)
