Cover image for Analytical Network Mapping for Complex,
Analytical Network Mapping for Complex, Sensitive Sources As a follow-up to my archival research on previously unpublished interrogation records, I mapped the interconnections between interrogators and individuals mentioned in the files, using Palladio by Standford University. By translating fragmented records into relational structures, this approach reveals patterns that are not immediately visible in the source material and supports interpretation in complex, sensitive contexts. Atatched is a glimpse of the mapped dataset. Names are redacted, but the interconnections remain visible.

Analytical Research for Complex and Sensitive Source Material Multi-month analytical research on previously unpublished archival interrogation records (1944, Cologne region), involving historically and ethically sensitive primary sources. My focus lay on decoding and transforming complex, unstructured materials into a research-ready dataset through variable definition and categorization. It required continuous analytical judgment, balancing reduction with responsibility towards the source. The project demonstrated that structure is never neutral, it shapes insight itself. Attached is an excerpt of my dataset, all names are redacted to preserve sensitivity.

Archival Research & History Reconstruction In a project, I translated and analyzed WWII archival files from the British National Archives to reconstruct a war crime. Collaborating with fellow researchers, I pieced together archival evidence, verified facts and, and crafted a narrative that made this complex history accessible and engaging for the public. This project showed me how detailed research can uncover hidden stories and bring history vividly into the present.

I enjoy diving into research topics that may seem obscure at first, but reveal deep analytical insight. For example, in a seminar, I explored the case of Christian Wolf, examining how his story is treated in Schiller's writing (The criminal of Lost Honor 1786) and through Foucault's analytical lens. This work illustrates how societal power, discipline, and social recognition shape and individual, a small slice of history with big impact for understanding decisions, responsibility, and social structures. For me, it's a perfect example of how analysis illuminates political and social dynamics, and how even seemingly minor subjects can carry profound significance.

"Rabbi Shimon : Episode 3" is a cinematic, Hebrew-language historical short focused on deep character drama, rich period detail, and high-stakes visual storytelling.

Cover image for I took a simple idea,
I took a simple idea, a village boy looking at the stars, and turned it into a cinematic fantasy trailer where a god-like being chooses him, strange spirits begin appearing, and things from another realm come looking for him. The crazy part? This was created with AI. I wanted it to feel less like “AI-generated content” and more like an actual film, deliberate camera movement, cinematic lighting, realistic 3D animation, sound design, atmosphere, suspense… and a little sarcasm from Richard because apparently getting chosen by a cosmic god isn’t enough stress already. 😂 This is only part of the story. Would you watch a full movie based on this world? 👀

They thought it was over... but it was just beginning." 👁️🔥 "THE END" is a self-produced cinematic spec piece designed to push the boundaries of hyper-realistic environment rendering, atmospheric storytelling, and high-intensity drama. Set in a post-apocalyptic world on the brink of collapse, this video explores grand visual scale—from crumbling cityscapes and atmospheric ash to raw human survival instincts. What I Did 🎬 Cinematic World-Building: Crafted detailed spatial and atmospheric prompts to generate ruined architecture, realistic weather effects (falling ash, dust storms, overcast dynamic skies), and intense character interactions. 🎥 Advanced Motion & Camera Control: Utilized low-angle tracking shots, dramatic slow-motion reveals, and wide epic landscape shots to give the short a Hollywood blockbuster feel. 🔊 Immersive Sound Design: Built a tense, heavy soundscape featuring deep sub-bass drones, metallic groans of collapsing infrastructure, distant thunder, and a swelling orchestral score. 🎨 Color Grading & Mood: Executed a moody, high-contrast desaturated palette with warm fire highlights to accentuate the gritty realism of an apocalypse. The Vibe Unforgiving, epic, and suspenseful—a visual taste of what happens after the world falls apart, built entirely to show how deep storytelling can be pushed using next-gen generative media tools.

Celebrating Cinema Through Data: Diane Keaton at 80 Some projects go beyond numbers. To honor the 80th birthday of legendary actress Diane Keaton, I built a Python Notebook on Kaggle featuring a curated selection of 25 of her most iconic films. From Annie Hall to Something’s Gotta Give, the dataset highlights her impact across decades of cinema. This project is both a technical showcase and a cultural tribute, proof that data analysis can capture not only trends, but also the legacy of an artist.
