Talk to me
The roles changed. I never stopped building. I've founded companies, built products, run teams and backed founders. AI lets me stay close to the product and move faster than ever.

You Ask
I build AI products people love using. Sometimes that's through my own companies, sometimes with other founders and teams, and sometimes as an investor or advisor.
Mostly AI-native products. Zodd is my AI-native studio, Halvday is an agentic sales product, and I'm building and experimenting with a handful of other products around AI, software and longevity.
If you're building something ambitious around AI, I can help with product strategy, experience design and getting it into production. For larger projects, I usually work through Zodd.
Zodd is the AI-native studio I founded. We combine strategy, design and engineering to build digital products, AI experiences and agentic systems.
Yes. Mostly early-stage, founder-led companies where AI is fundamental to the product. I'm particularly interested in products where technology alone isn't the moat and the experience matters too.

Selectively. I'm most useful when product, AI, positioning and company-building overlap, especially when there are actual decisions to make rather than another strategy deck to produce.
For something exceptional, yes. I'm primarily a founder and builder, but I'm open to conversations about ambitious product or company-building roles.
I've spent more than 15 years building digital products and companies across AI, gaming, media and SaaS, from early-stage startups to businesses with €20M+ ARR and teams of more than 100 people.
Berlin. I'm Austrian, and I work with founders and teams internationally.
