Work Experience

Volunteer – LLM Reverse Engineering at AVL Software & Functions GmbH
December 15, 2024 - August 23, 2025
Developed and fine-tuned custom large language models for assembler to C code translation using in-house data. Explored, tested, and optimized existing models such as Mistral, DeepSeek, and CodeBERT, employing advanced techniques including transfer learning and continuous refinement to enhance model accuracy. This research formed the basis for my Master’s thesis focused on advanced LLM-driven code translation.

Generated reports and dashboards to communicate actionable insights and collaborated with teams to enhance efficiency via data-driven systems.
Volunteer - LLM Reverse Engineering at AVL Software & Functions GmbH
August 1, 2024 - June 1, 2025
Developed and fine-tuned a custom LLM for assembler-to-C translation on in-house ARM firmware data; compared open-source models (Mistral, DeepSeek, CodeBERT) and iterated on prompts and fine-tuning strategy in Python. Built a reproducible pipeline around Ghidra for data cleaning, function mapping, prompt generation and inference, with evaluation via LLM-as-a-judge and human reviewers. Completed this work as Master’s thesis (Dec 2024 - Jun 2025), focusing on LLM-driven code translation for reverse engineering workflows.
