How I Work
I blend deep technical expertise and vibrant social energy. I can lose myself for hours optimizing a workflow or debugging an agent loop, then spend the afternoon connecting founders with the right investors over coffee. This duality isn't a bug; it's my operating system.
Bias to Action Over Perfect Plans
I believe you can reach 80% of the value in 20% of the time. This shapes everything I build. I'd rather ship an MVP in two weeks and learn from real users than spend two months planning the "perfect" version that never launches.
I'd rather ask for forgiveness than permission. If you wait for consensus, you've already lost momentum. Move fast, learn from what breaks, and adjust.
Done means it runs in production and is used by real people. Everything else is just theory.
Product Person, Not a Role
I don't believe in strict boundaries between PM, designer, and engineer anymore. AI is collapsing those walls fast. The future belongs to high-agency, high-taste individuals who can uncover problems, create concepts, and ship solutions.
I'm the engineer who embeds with customers. The operator who prototypes ideas before anyone asks. The connector who turns feedback into features. I bridge technical depth and strategic thinking because the best products require both.
The best products solve hard problems for customers and make them the heroes. Your job isn't to be the star but to build something that makes your users feel powerful.
Bursts of Energy, Not Steady Marathons
I'm driven by bursts of intense focus. Sometimes I don't get much done for a few days, then I ship three features in 48 hours. I've learned to work with this rhythm instead of fighting it.
If I truly care about a problem, I can't sleep at night. It means I'm working on something that matters.
I'm also a generalist who thrives on variety. I love diving deep into a new domain, connecting disparate ideas, and finding patterns others miss. This makes me great at 0→1 building and terrible at repetitive operational work.
Community as a Force Multiplier
I don't build alone. I've energized communities at TU Investment Club, START Berlin, baby vc, and more. I love bringing ambitious people together, sparking connections, and watching new ideas take off.
My network is my superpower. I'm always connecting the right people—founders to investors, engineers to designers, builders to early users. I believe the best work happens when smart, driven people collaborate.
Taste + Practicality
I care deeply about UI and UX. The best products feel effortless. They don't create new behaviors, they make existing ones faster, simpler, or more joyful.
I believe the future of AI isn't another app—it's agents that live where you already are. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
How to Work With Me
If it's not written down, it's not decided. I document everything: decisions, learnings, next steps. This keeps teams aligned and moving fast.
Don't bring me the problem, bring the solution. I love collaborating on ideas, but I expect people to think critically first. Come with options, trade-offs, and a recommendation.
I respond within 24-48 hours. If I take longer, I don't consider it urgent. If you need an answer faster, ping me directly.
I usually only take meetings in the afternoon. Mornings are for deep work. If you want to meet, afternoons work best.
If it's not in my calendar, there's a high chance I won't show up. Send a calendar invite and I'll be there.
Meetings should be 30 minutes or 1.5-hour workshops. Anything in between loses focus. If it can be an email, it should be.
I'm optimistic but self-critical. I believe we can build something great, but I'm relentless about improving. If you're not overconfident, you won't achieve greatness. If you're not self-critical, you won't get better.
What Drives Me
I believe the best way to change the world is to build a business. Not a deck, not a strategy doc, but a real product that solves a real problem for real people.
I'm a tech optimist. I think AI will make technology more human, not less. I think the best products are still ahead of us. And I think the right team, moving fast with clear taste, can build something that matters.
If you're building something ambitious and want a collaborator who bridges technical depth, strategic thinking, and a strong network, let's talk!
