About me

I am the CSO & Partner at Tagading, a theoretical physicist, computer science PhD, independent thinker, and family man.

  • Leadership: As CSO at Tagading, I lead corporate strategy and knowledge management. My goal is to align our mission/vision with business logic. My technical focus centers on algorithms and data science/engineering.

  • Mindset: With a degree in Theoretical Physics from KFU Graz and a PhD in Computer Science from the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, I approach systemic problems from first principles. This scientific foundation guides all my knowledge work, whether evaluating technical architectures or designing data-driven systems.

  • Family: I am married and the father of a son. Dedicated to balancing professional work (Erwerbsarbeit) with family work (Familienarbeit), I prioritize staying present in both domains. In my remaining time, I stay grounded through martial arts, music and personal discipline.
