Background & Interests

I hold a BSc in Information Systems from the University of Zurich (Magna Cum Laude) with a minor in Banking & Finance. In my thesis, I built an agent-based simulation to study multi-dimensional token incentive effects, combining computational modeling with economic mechanisms.

A central project in recent years is an automated arbitrage engine for digital asset marketplaces. I designed and operate the full system: ingestion of live market data, opportunity detection, execution logic, pricing models, and performance tracking. Building and running this system sharpened my experience with backend architecture, automation, and operating software in production conditions.

Alongside academics and engineering work, competitive Floorball has been a constant part of my life for over ten years. It shaped how I handle pressure, collaborate, and maintain focus over long periods.

I’m currently in an interim year and open to opportunities in software engineering, fintech, quantitative development, or roles where code, automation, and market mechanics intersect.
