Engineer by education,
curious mind by instinct,
continuous learner by vocation.
What I did
I studied mechanical engineering at ETH Zürich, where I worked on drone robotics, the mathematics of acoustic radiation force, and machine learning on satellite images of coral reefs.
What I do
I am a product owner at Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) in Zürich, working with a sharp and deeply skilled team on computer-vision systems for automated train inspection.
What I build
I build AI agents for my own life. I have been collecting health, movement, and finance data for years, and rather than reading dashboards built by others, I write tools that interrogate that data myself. The projects are on GitHub and will be public soon.
Where my roots are
LaTeX was my first encounter with code. Writing physics summaries, I appreciated the rigour in the source and the clean typographic look in the output. When the first hand-written version of my mother's family tree arrived, with branches back five generations in California and Ticino, translating it to LaTeX was the obvious choice. Every now and then an unknown relative knocks on my grandfather's door. The tree keeps growing.
Otherwise
Most days I run, boulder or swim, not for exhaustion but for mental clarity. Weekends find me in an European city with a magazine, at the cinema, or in the Swiss Alps. Occasionally at the seaside, watching the marine life.
