I build software for work, and read, write, and watch fiction to keep the rest of my attention honest.

At Carl Zeiss AG, I own the GenAI-based application layer of the company's AI platform — the architecture, security model, and guardrails that every business unit builds on when shipping LLM applications — and drive the organisation's adoption of agentic engineering. Building systems that people trust with hard decisions is, in a way, where I started: earlier, I studied moral decision-making at Harvard University and the Max Planck Institute, after a PhD in cognitive neuroscience at SISSA, Trieste.

That path has left me with two recurring interests: how people decide what matters, and how to build tools that survive contact with real work. I have authored open-source libraries for data analysis and code quality, published peer-reviewed research in neuroscience and psychology, and am writing Distorted Mirrors, a collection of literary fiction about technology's quiet costs.
