CTO & Technology Enthusiast
Building products and teams since 2002
A technical CTO passionate about Software, Hardware, and Technology, with a focus on building companies and teams. Based in Berlin, Germany 🇩🇪
I've had a deep and long-standing passion for technology, whether it's assembling computers 🪛, writing scripts, developing automation, from basic to advanced, or architecting large, complex cloud systems.
Around the age of 10, I took my first computer assembly course, which quickly led me to explore and pursue programming courses (HTML, CSS, VB, ASP, Macromedia Flash, etc). My professional journey began at the age of 15 when I developed my first e-commerce platform. That early exposure ignited a lifelong passion for technology. 🤓
After nearly 6 years at a major investment bank working on trading robots and low-latency platforms, I relocated to Germany in 2018 to co-found AiSight GmbH. As CTO, I helped scale AiSight into a mid-sized company (100+ employees), acquired by Sensirion AG 🇨🇭 in 2021 and fully integrated by 2024. 🚀
During the last 20 years I've lived in São Paulo 🇧🇷, Mexico City 🇲🇽, Jaipur-Delhi 🇮🇳, Zürich 🇨🇭, London 🇬🇧, Shenzhen 🇨🇳, Santiago-Pucón 🇨🇱, Hamburg 🇩🇪, and Berlin 🇩🇪. I spent weeks traveling with my family in a motorhome through Denmark 🇩🇰, Sweden 🇸🇪, Norway 🇳🇴, Belgium 🇧🇪, and Germany 🇩🇪.
