about
i'm a software engineer and head of execution of
openq. I'm originally from a small town in southwest germany known as offenburg.
my tryst with coding began thanks to the vastness of the web and friends who nudged me to experiment with ideas i had.
by 15, i freelanced in web development and 3d animation. after a year at a 3d studio, i realized my passion leaned more towards coding than animation.
thanks to that experience i studied cs at the technical university of berlin, though much of my knowledge is self-taught. for over a decade, i've been deep into crypto and web3, professionally focusing on blockchain for the last 5 years.
my first company, cwc, analyzed crypto exchanges. i sold that company two years later. free time and freelance gigs as dev rel (my biggest passion) led me to various hackathons, where i met my co-founder. together, we founded
openq, partnering with top hackathon organizers and distributing the largest prize pool in hackathon history, fully on-chain.
today i'm mainly focusing on developer relations with our new
drm product and in my free time i play around with ai like everyone else.
