I build software for work, and read, write, and watch fiction to make sense of everything else.
At Carl Zeiss AG, I own the GenAI application layer of our AI platform: its architecture, security model, and guardrails for every business unit. I also drive agentic engineering standards and adoption.
Three interests connect my work: how the physical world works, how people decide what matters, and how to build tools they can trust with hard decisions.
