About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Correcting the prejudices about Computer Science-Students

ABOUT ME

I studied Computer Science in Freiburg, Zurich and Munich and co-founded a small company two years ago. We are building smart machines and robots with a lot of cameras.

I'm rather spontaneous and if I have to decide between a new experience that may end in an unwanted way and staying safe in the old patterns, I take my chances and so far I've never regretted it.

So. I hope this was a first hint about me and the rest can be discussed over a beer or two.

PHILOSOPHY

"Bereuen kann man nur, was man auch probiert hat. " (Thomas D)
(you can only regret, what you have tried)

"Erwarte das Beste und bereite dich auf das Schlimmste vor!"
(expect the best and be prepared for the worst)
I try always to be optimistic be like to have a plan B.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked 6 weeks on the Camino de Santiago after the Abitur. Travelling at only 30km/day and having everything you own in a rucksack is an amazing experience. Challenging physically and mentally.
