Profile Picture

Having recently completed my Master’s degree, I am excited about the next steps. I am looking forward greatly to the opportunity to join a team where I can continue learning and expanding my knowledge and build some cool software along the way. In University, my work and personal interest has mostly been in the area of computer vision and its applications in robotics. As a component of my Master’s degree, I completed an individual study module with the Robotics and Perception research group at UZH. This study involved gaining familiarity with Event-Based Vision and its application in solving problems such as VIO, SLAM. I also completed a group project with the Computer Vision Laboratory at the ETH, in the realm of domain adaptation for semantic image segmentation.

What excites me the most, is working on projects that influence and play a tangible role in the physical world. This is what attracted me to computer vision, and its application to flying machines like drones and aircraft in particular. My interests are however not only constrained to the world of computer vision. Working on any kind of user-facing technology is intriguing to me, especially when it entails some sort of physical interaction.

I am also very interested in open source software and, through my work experience, am familiar with various web technologies. I also have a strong personal affinity for User-Centered Design.

I ❤️ Terminals

I am a big command-line nerd. So much so that, as part of my Master's Thesis work , I built a CLI tutor tool to help introduce beginners to textual interaction and using the command-line.

A web version of the application that uses a svelte, xterm.js, docker and websockets to serve the tool over the web is available at: clitutor.chistole.ch .

Hobbies 🚲

I have been involved in the cycling and bicycle messenger communities since my early teenage years. Furthermore, I am active in organising cycling events and am a core member of an open bicycle workshop project in Bern.
