I’m currently a Principal Software Engineer at Invertbio.com (YC W22). Previously, I was working in Berlin as the Head of ML Engineering for Zalando SE. I’m an experienced tech leader in the fields of data, analytics and machine learning / artificial intelligence systems at different company sizes. I’ve worked in deep tech (Verisign, Inc.), consumer tech (Zalando SE and Craftsvilla.com), and consulting (Gramener.com).
I have a strong academic computer science and mathematics background. I am deeply passionate about philosophy, anthropology, game theory, political science, bitcoin, quantum mechanics, world history, psychology, macroeconomics, markets, culture, cinema and art.
