About me
Strategic positioning for international researchers who want funded offers and high-impact AI careers.
I am a fully funded European PhD who transitioned from academia into applied AI in Germany. Today, I lecture in AI/ML while working at the intersection of research and industry. I understand both sides of the system: how academic selection committees evaluate candidates, and how German hiring managers assess technical talent.
I also know what rejection feels like. Silence after dozens of applications. Interviews that go nowhere. The uncertainty of navigating a foreign system without insider context. Most strong candidates are not underqualified. They are mispositioned.
My work focuses on two distinct transitions:
PhD Admission Strategy (Europe)
For international students targeting fully funded PhDs.
Outcome: Competitive positioning, structured research narrative, supervisor alignment strategy, and funding clarity.
Difference: This is not SOP editing. It is strategic positioning built around selection psychology, proposal coherence, and supervisor-market fit.
Industry Transition Strategy (Germany, AI/ML)
For PhDs and postdocs moving into data science, ML, and applied AI roles.
Outcome: Interview traction within weeks, sharper CV positioning, portfolio clarity, and stronger salary negotiation.
Difference: Not generic CV advice. We rebuild your professional narrative around business impact and German market expectations.
Recent results include candidates moving from 200+ rejections to multiple interviews within 30 days, PhD acceptances across Europe, and placements in major German firms.
I work best with serious, action-oriented candidates who are ready to implement. I take a limited number of clients each month to maintain depth and quality.
If you are unsure where your bottleneck is, start with a Strategy Call or Diagnostic Session.
We identify the positioning gap, then decide the right next step.
