About

I'm a Founding Engineer with an M.Sc. in Sociotechnical Systems Engineering from Uppsala University. I've spent the last two years building a Unified API from scratch at a German startup, connecting over 20 accounting and ERP systems.

My background spans both machine learning — including a production ML model for live football betting odds — and full-stack development. Most recently I've been leading AI strategy and building an MCP server to bring AI connectivity to the Unified API.

Based in Marseille, France, where I run along the Mediterranean coast, get lost in a good book, and occasionally disappear to somewhere new on the map.

I love travelling and exploring new places.

When I'm not at my desk, I'm out exploring. I love discovering new places and sharing my favorite tips along the way.
