Hi, I am Arno ☕

I am a Research Engineer with a love for coffee, pretty caustics and machine learning.

My domain of expertise lies at the intersection of machine learning and computer graphics. In recent years, I focused on real-time neural representations, reinforcement learning, the Many Lights problem and generative modelling.
