About
I never followed a straight path. I followed what made me curious.
My path into technology wasn't a straight line. It started with hands-on technical work: understanding machines, systems and how things are actually built. That foundation still shapes how I work today: practical, hands-on, close to the material.
From there, the journey moved through project management and event operations: years of coordinating people, processes and logistics. It taught me how organisations actually work, how decisions get made, and what it means to be responsible for an outcome rather than a task.
Digital products brought all of it together. First through UX and product design, then through building and running real products. Today I work across design, technology and business as an independent builder of my own products.
What connects every step: curiosity and the desire to build things that matter. The disciplines changed. The approach didn't.
Timeline
The path so far.
- 2007-2014 Technical & Industrial Background
Hands-on technical work built the foundation: understanding how things are made, how systems fail and how to fix them.
- 2015-2021 Project Management & Operations
Leading projects and running event operations added the other half of the picture: people, processes, logistics and responsibility for outcomes.
- 2021-2023 Digital Products & UX
The move into product design and development connected the dots, turning an understanding of operations into digital products that solve real problems.
- Since 2022 AI & Software Development
Since 2022, artificial intelligence has been an integral part of daily work, from applying AI to building the systems around it.
- Since 2023 Independent Builder
Working independently on own products (Wichtelkompass and eventOz) and on the intersection of design, technology and AI.
Philosophy
How I work.
- Less noise. More intention.
Design is the quality of decisions, not the number of effects. Every element has to earn its place.
- Systems over components.
Understanding the whole system (product, technology, business) beats optimizing isolated parts.
- Learn by building.
Real products, real users and real constraints teach what no deck or plan can.
- Substance over superlatives.
Competence is shown through work and substance, not through inflated claims.
Current Focus
Two products in the market: Wichtelkompass, an active childcare platform, and eventOz, an event platform in active development. Around them: agent engineering, harness engineering and the question of how reliable AI systems are actually built.
