- I grew up in Germany and spent my teenage years mostly working on projects: cars, a robotic bark beetle monitoring system, vertical farming systems, a social network and more.
- Early in life competitive sports was my major focus. First olympic archery, then Karate. Ambition outsized talent, but it was a very shaping time.
- I have a B.Sc. in Physics & Industrial Engineering.
- Before moving to San Francisco to found World and TFH I did research in theoretical physics focused on how to apply deep learning to quantum systems. First at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light and then the IQIM at Caltech. I dropped out of academia before publishing the work, but you can find some intermediate results here.
- I rarely invest.
