Hi, I'm Behsad.

I'm an American-German Computer Science student at TUM fascinated by the pursuit of architecting platforms of scale. I have built tools at BMW and Germany's largest comparison platform with 15M+ customers.

| about me

I am a student and software engineer with 2 years of experience at BMW and Check24, currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with Business at TUM. My experiences in solving inefficiencies have deepened my appreciation for the transformative capabilities of AI in strategic environments. This appreciation ultimately led me to join TUM.ai in 2023. Since joining, I have immersed myself in AI applications while leading the TUM.ai software engineering team, fostering tech-related services in collaboration with partners such as Microsoft and Google.


I am an avid user of the following technologies:

TypeScript

React

GraphQL

Python

Java

Spring Boot

Beyond agnoster themed terminals, I enjoy cooking and doing cross-functional sports.

Invenus - Night Club Ticket Sales Platform

Collaborated in a team of five to create a full-stack application for selling night tickets. We managed the CI/CD processes with Docker. I developed event-viewing pages and confirmation e-mails.

Java

Spring Boot

React

Research Paper on Pathfinding algorithms

In high school, I authored a paper with reflection process, analyzing time efficiency of various graph algorithms such as A* Search. The paper earned an 'A' (Scale: A, B, C, D, E) and was selected by the computer science department as an exemplar of outstanding research.

Literature Review: Automated Bug Replay using LLMs

Wrote an exhaustive evaluation and summary of the ICSE paper, “Prompting Is All You Need: Bug Replay with LLMs” by Feng and Chen (2023). Proposed latency and accuracy improvements for programmatic bug replay using LLMs, earning the highest grade (1.0).

UnternehmerTUM Innovation Sprint Winner 2024

The innovation sprint is a week-long design-thinking challenge with 250+ participants, offered by UnternehmerTUM and industry partners. My team and I won the "Mobility" track by TUM Venture Labs, solving the issue of limited parking spaces. Pitched to an audience of 300+ people and got offered 4 digit funding.

Women in Tech: Coding Workshop

Led a three-day coding workshop during Covid-19, promoting STEM engagement among young women between the ages of 12 and 14. In pursuit of this, we incentivized collaboration between girls and boys in a gamified format.

Coding Society

The Coding Society is a high-school initiative I started to explore data structures and algorithms beyond standard curricula, hosting coding workshops for young learners, and organizing mini hackathons. We also proposed a pin-code locking system for the school campus to the board.
