I have contributed to Samsung's Bixby, advised multinational S&P 500 companies on AI strategies, and revamped the business intelligence and recommendation systems for IPPEN Digital, Germany’s largest news publisher. During my career as a consultant and data owner, I’ve served as a bridge between technical and non-technical stakeholders, explaining complex topics to non-technical teams. My journey from research in laser and solar cell technologies to AI gives me a holistic perspective on building tech that touches users. I’m currently pursuing my own venture as an indie developer, building an LLM-assisted, crowd-powered content platform to navigate bureaucracy in Germany.
