My professional path

After spending a decade in the advertising world, in 2021 I took a leap and started my own small company. I failed to find product-market-fit but learned many valuable lessons at the intersection of entrepreneurship, tech and sales.

Mid 2023 I switched to helping various clients as a freelance web developer and technical partner. Here's a quick rundown of some tools I like and things that have kept me busy lately:

My own projects

• Secure OpenClaw AI Infrastructure
  Designed and deployed a zero-trust AI agent on a secure Linux VPS using OpenClaw.

• Password protection
  I developed a solution for adding a password protection to websites with just a line of code. This project allows clients to secure their websites by simply adding a script which has server-side authentication for enhanced security.

Past Work

• Media Investment Consulting & Marketing Strategy
  In my previous professional path, I spent about 10 years working a 9-5. First, about 8 years at a large media agency and then about 2 years at a national German financial institution. In both roles, I provided media investment consulting and marketing strategy planning for large corporations, managing campaigns across all media channels. This experience gave me a practical perspective on how large-scale organizations operate and how they think.
