About Me

I grew up in a small city on the German North Sea coast.

After spending a year in North Carolina for high school and studying at an international campus university, I worked across corporate and startup environments for more than a decade, with a strong focus on tech.

Most of this time, I have spent trying to understand how things work and why they are the way they are. Once I had learned that knowledge is a network, meaning the more you know, the easier it is to learn something new, I never ran out of things worth learning about.

But a lot of what shaped how I see the world did not happen in an office or on the factory floor.

More than a decade of martial arts and football taught me more about teamwork, humility, and recognizing exploitative leadership than most management courses ever could. Growing up with anime like One Piece and Dragon Ball, as well as spending years listening to rap, gave me an early and healthy distrust of authority and unchecked power.

Gaming taught me more about strategy and system design than any corporate mentor. Following Formula 1 for most of my life taught me that obsessing over every detail and knowing which details actually matter are two very different skills.

Nowadays, I still try to learn as much as I can, and I write it down when I come up with something worth saying.
