Hello & Welcome
I’m a German founder and writer currently living in industrial India. I came here to build AI for garment factories. The work taught me things about systems, trust, and human stubbornness that I couldn’t learn anywhere else.
I write about what happens when ideas hit reality: AI deployment on factory floors, startup leadership across cultures, and occasionally the places where physics, theology, and ancient history say the same thing in different languages.
Founder of DAITA. Previously: technology initiatives with the German and African governments; Fortune 500 companies; early-stage startups.
I also make music and play sports. Enjoy.
