More about me

About

I lead engineering at the IOTA Foundation, where I work across technical architecture, organizational strategy, and product delivery.

My career started with a Swiss IT apprenticeship and grew through full stack development, infrastructure, and distributed systems. That broad foundation still shapes how I approach complex technical work today.

I care about clear systems, useful tools, and calm teams. My current focus is on distributed ledger technology for trade digitization and supply chain infrastructure. Away from a screen, I am usually in the Alps with a light pack.
