Martin Feineis
I grew up in Waldbüttelbrunn and attended Deutschhaus Gymnasium in Würzburg, where I earned my Abitur in 2006. Following military service, I pursued a bachelor's degree in technical physics at Technische Universität Ilmenau, graduating in 2011. While working at Siemens in Berlin, I began a master's degree in electrical engineering at FernUniversität Hagen. After relocating to the United States in 2014, I transitioned into software engineering in Philadelphia, leaving my master's degree unfinished.
