01 — The Work Safety at the Edge
What I Build

Robots are leaving their caged cells. The question is not whether physical AI will transform industry, logistics, and care — it is who will control the layer of safety, compliance, and real-world trust that makes deployment possible.

I build that infrastructure. Multimodal perception systems certifiable under the EU Machinery Regulation and ISO standards. The technical vocabulary that lets robots operate where failure is not an option.

The Position

I sit at the fault line between embodied AI and regulatory reality. Most people on one side cannot read the other. I speak both languages — and contribute to the ISO/TC 299 committee on industrial robot safety, mobile and humanoid robots, safety-critical infrastructure and datasets.

Built image labelling tools before the AI wave. Cut photographers' work from 8 hours to 10 minutes.
Industry
Siemens Mobility · New York
Robot automation cutting mundane labour. Where infrastructure meets scale and failure is measured in lives, not lost revenue.
Prior
Lunar Ventures · Berlin
Supported the GPs sourcing exceptional deals while they built their first fund. Deep tech venture capital at its earliest stage.
Formation
Electrical Engineering. Born Freiburg. Raised Berlin. London → New York → Brussels. The cities where serious things get built.
03 — Manifesto Why This Matters
Everyone Is Building The Brain. Nobody Is Building The Permission to Move. No Robot Ships Without Safety. No Deployment Without Trust. I Build That Layer. So Machines and Humans Can Finally Coexist.
04 — Embryo Ventures Investing at the Origin
With Dr. Arash Moavenian

Together with Dr. Arash Moavenian, I invest through Embryo Ventures, est. 2018. We partner with exceptional founders at the origin — where the future is reimagined with conviction and intent. We champion ambitious pursuits to redefine the lived experience across the fundamental dimensions of human life.

Human Health

Health is the deepest expression of our humanity. We invest across three dimensions — backing next-generation clinical and consumer technologies that restore health, sustain wellness, and expand human potential.

Human Experience

Technology is redefining the foundational systems through which we live and experience the world. We invest thematically across life's essential infrastructure — focusing on core systems that directly shape lived experience at scale.

05 — Connect Work Together
Currently

Available for advisory conversations, co-founder discussions, and speaking on physical AI safety, regulatory frameworks, and the infrastructure layer that will define the next generation of category leaders.
