Portrait of Yann Ahlgrim

Software Engineer

In my Master's degree in Information Systems, I focus on self-supervised latent representations for robust generalization in unconstrained environments.

I am currently looking for a PhD position or a full-time Machine Learning Engineer role starting September 2026.

Alongside this, I work as a Working Student Full Stack Engineer at Mercedes-Benz Tech Innovation and previously gained international experience as a Machine Learning Engineer at CoPilot Innovations in Chicago.

Outside of software and AI, I am active as a volunteer basketball coach and enjoy surfing.
