About

It's great to meet you! I'm Ana. I'm a BSc Computer Science student at HSLU and an interdisciplinary AI Engineer at IBM Zurich, where I prototype ambient, agentic systems and real-world PoCs. I bring a decade of experience in UX + CMS on top of SWE + AI/ML so I'm comfortable moving between code, UX and product. During offdays, I experiment with tiny model training and model distillation for browser use, and build open source tools for educational use. I also support initiatives like Women in IT as a photographer, and the student organisation STAIR as a Full Stack Developer ~ Of course, not to forget hiking with peers and exploring new places! I'm open to summer internships, open source collaborations and coffee chats — feel free to connect over socials or share my CV!
