I study how complex systems behave — from adaptive meshes simulating earthquake tsunamis to validation platforms for self-driving cars. Along the way I've been a researcher, a Chief Product Owner at Bosch, and now a startup co-founder.

At Bosch I spent 7+ years building simulation and software-in-the-loop testing platforms for L3/L4 automated driving. My team pioneered digital validation approaches that cut dependency on physical proving grounds. The work was equal parts technical architecture and organizational alignment — getting 5+ internal teams and external partners to ship on the same cadence. Hardest thing I've done. Also the most rewarding.

Before Bosch I researched high-performance computing at TU München and the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge — simulating earthquake physics on supercomputers with billions of grid cells. That background shaped how I think about scale: whether it's HPC simulation or autonomous vehicle validation, the challenge is the same — making complex systems reliable at scale.

Currently I'm co-founder and CEO of Tornaido UG, building AI-powered personalized learning tools. We launched Lernaido — an assessment and learning platform — and I'm deep in product, architecture, and figuring out what it means to build an ed-tech company from scratch. It's a different kind of hard, and I love it.
