I'm a software engineer with a BSc in CS from TUM.

Most recently, I worked at Tools for Humanity on worldcoin, first in Munich and then in San Francisco. I was an IC on transaction optimization and AI, and tech lead of the growth team.

At uni, I did computational biology in the Gagneur lab, was on TUM's synbio iGEM team, and ran a software contracting business, mostly working on the core team of Anchor, an open source Rust framework. While finishing uni, severe RSI kept me from typing much, so for a while I coded by voice with Talon and Cursorless. I also created a VS Code extension to navigate VS Code by voice. Before uni, I worked on carsharing services in Germany.
