I live in Berlin and work at Henkel as a Product Owner, currently figuring out what AI should do inside our commerce platform — which sounds like a strategy question and turns out to be a series of very concrete ones about data, latency and what happens when the model is confidently wrong. It's a role I backed into rather than planned, after studying software engineering, starting out as a fullstack developer at Sekizbit, spending the better part of a decade writing frontends in Angular at Netaş, OBSS, Shoop and BuildingMinds, and drifting through project management on the way to this side of the table — which is probably why I keep asking about edge cases when everyone else wants to talk about the roadmap.

Right now I'm listening to (there's more on my Spotify page), the last thing I watched was Heartstopper Forever (2026), and I'm making my way through The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera.

I don't take many photos, but the ones I'm happy with end up on Unsplash. Whatever I've been building lately shows up in my GitHub contributions. Almost everything I've listened to since 2011 is counted in my Last.fm stats. And every so often a side project happens purely for fun — games, small tools, a film archive.

You can find me on GitHub, LinkedIn and X, dig deeper into what I listen to, watch and read on Spotify, Last.fm, Letterboxd and Goodreads, see how far I've been running on Strava, or just send me an email.
