MIA

Modernism in Architecture

iOS App

Friends of mine run an online archive for modernist architecture in Europe and beyond. An architecture style that emerged in the interwar period between the 1920s and 1940s.

I wrote the MIA App to explore buildings and architects of the their archive on the iPhone. The App is written in Swift.

The source code of the App and the project as well is available as open source.

Interests


Swift & SwiftUI

iOS Development

In 2016 I started looking into mobile app development and fell in love with Swift.

To go deeper and to learn and train the skills for real world projects I took a course. (graduated in 2018)

And with the appearance of SwiftUI, my love became deeper! Since then, I never miss WWDC and love to write apps in Swift and annoy those around me with it.

Artificial Intelligence

Deep Learning

Deep Reinforcement Learning

My fascination for Artificial Intelligence was already awakened a few years ago at university. When AI started to gain more importance, I decided to take a closer look at the topic again and completed the Deep Learning course at Udacity. (graduated in 2019)

The course included own projects on different neural network architectures like Convolutional Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks and Generative Adversarial Networks.

Two years later, I decided to expand my knowledge and took the challenging Deep Reinforcement Learning course at Udacity. (graduated in 2022)

To graduate, I had to complete projects on Value-Based Methods, Policy-Based Methods and Multi-Agent-Reinforcement Learning.

Besides the necessary things, I experimented a bit with different types of noise on the DDGP algorithm and wrote an article about it.
