I am a software engineer and co-founder building Heizen, an AI-native software delivery platform. Previously Software Engineer II at Microsoft (Azure DevOps, AppCenter) and co-founder of AthenaSquare (hiring AI with vision and NLP).

Research background in deep learning and computer vision — object detection, tracking, and attention mechanisms — at OSRAM, Mercateo, and TU Munich.

The Pragmatic Programmer

David Thomas & Andrew Hunt · 2023

A timeless guide to the craft of software development. The tips on orthogonality and DRY are things I still catch myself referencing years later.

Designing Data-Intensive Applications

Martin Kleppmann · 2023

The clearest and most honest treatment of distributed systems I've read. Essential reading before designing anything at scale.

The Lean Startup

Eric Ries · 2022

Reshaped how I think about building products at AthenaSquare and Heizen. Build-measure-learn is deceptively simple but extremely hard to stick to.
