About me

When I was 7 years old, I tried downloading Minecraft beta on my dad's computer and accidentally installed malware instead. That epic fail sparked an obsession with figuring out how computers work (and how they break). Fast forward to today: I study CS at FHNW and work as a Cyber Defense Engineer at MGB, protecting Switzerland's largest retail company.

That "learning experience" sent me down a rabbit hole through web development, digital marketing, and eventually cybersecurity. Along the way, I discovered my love for producing lofi beats and co-founded Soothe Records - a music label that's now achieved over 100M streams on Spotify.

In the evenings, I coach table tennis at Switzerland's largest academic club, build AI tools that actually solve real problems (okay, most of the time :P), and create chill music for millions of people worldwide.
