😁 About Me

Hi, I’m Nam — a German Computer Science student, currently at the University of Tokyo and supported by a DAAD scholarship. I work at the intersection of AI research, global communication, and community-centered tech.

Whether it’s building a Retrieval-Augmented pipeline, creating a kindness-based social platform, or teaching networks, I’m passionate about making innovation accessible and human.
GTC is a space where I combine all of that — with peers who share the same values.
