I work at the seam where engineering craft and business judgement meet: building AI systems that hold up in production, and products people actually use.
I'm a software engineer with a computer science education from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Hagen, plus an MBA from the Collège des Ingénieurs, where I led ML/AI projects at Merck.
I'm drawn to problems at the intersection of technical depth and real-world impact: too human for pure engineering, too complex for pure strategy. I think in first principles, build for durability, and try to stay honest about what technology can and cannot fix.
I'm also a former State Champion and National Qualifier in Jugend debattiert, which shaped how I think, argue, and communicate under pressure.
The questions I keep returning to, in conversations, in research, in things I build on weekends. Not a manifesto. Just honest curiosity.
I enjoy talking with builders, researchers, and people working on things that matter. Always happy to hear what you're working on.
