I convert your vision into a product. I offer consulting services on a variety of technical, organizational, and business topics. I work mostly with startups (pre-founding and post-founding) and small companies who must navigate shifting roadmaps and organizational charts.
Contact me on LinkedIn to learn more.
Before transitioning to full-time consulting, I worked as a project manager for Pulsed Light Technologies GmbH. They are building petawatt-class lasers for nuclear fusion research.
Before that I helped build a research group in biomedical imaging at Helmholtz Zentrum München (HPC Bruns) and NCT Dresden (FBOO).
Before that I helped build a clinical trial for Lumicell. Ask me and I can show you my thumbprints on their approval notice.
In my spare time I climb mountains, hike across countries, make art, play disc golf, and generally explore the world.
Projects
- ALPR Watch: Keeping track of ALPR installations and the growth of surveillance networks worldwide. I wrote an app that helps people navigate around surveillance, maintain a list of suspected locations of installed surveillance, and wrote an API for navigating around surveillance. These services are used as part of the DeFlock app
- Spacivo: A service for finding housing that fits your real needs. Search for "an apartment within walking distance of a subway station, my favorite grocery store, and less than 30 minutes of driving from my workplace."
- Stickerist: Documenting sticker culture around the world, posted twice daily
Lagrangians: Art based on chaotic differential equations (see the gallery here)
Kunst und Krebs: An art installation at NCT Dresden. I designed the lighting for the two pieces made by Eric Beier, intended to demonstrate the role of fluorescence imaging in medicine, where it is used to identify otherwise invisible differences between types of tissue. Press page for the project and for our contribution- libpicoquant: Decoders for PicoQuant file formats
- Photon correlation: A suite of tools for processing photon arrival time data (TTTR, TCSPC) developed for my PhD work.
- An RSS feed of changes to the ICANN TLD list
