I wrote my first lines of code at eight years old. Nobody asked me to but I was curious and from that moment on I just couldn't stop. That was about of my life ago and the passion is still there. I studied mathematics at sixteen, spent my evenings building neural networks in C++ at eighteen and dropped out of university to sleep on a couch in Paris for a startup job. No regrets ✌️

Since then I gave talks at international tech conferences, co-founded products used by millions, grown engineering teams from scratch, had two successful exits and helped build infrastructure that major broadcast organizations depend on live, under pressure.

I also won numerous design awards somewhere along the way, which matters to me because I think software that works well should also feel right to use.

When I moved back to my hometown at the Teutoburger Forest I started to teach teenagers algorithmic problem solving skills and AI fundamentals. I also started doing pro bono consulting for the local startup scene.
