The Journey
From self-taught hacker at 16 to building AI products — a path shaped by curiosity, markets, and relentless building.
2017
Discovered Code
At 16, picked up a book on hacking and never looked back. Self-taught programming through online resources and Harvard's CS50. Originally planned for investment banking, but code had other plans.
2019
First Wins in Markets
Started trading Forex and crypto—first with demo accounts, then real money. Turned €100 into €10,000. Learned markets aren't a business, but the discipline stuck.
2020
Entrepreneurship Experiments
Tried dropshipping, print-on-demand, and other business models. Most failed, but each one taught something. Realized sustainable businesses require real value creation.
2021
Frankfurt School & VC
Started Business Administration at Frankfurt School. Joined Aescuvest, a healthcare VC fund, analyzing startups and preparing investment memos. Saw how capital flows to great teams.
2023
Agency Takes Off
Marketing agency hit €125,000 in net revenue. Delivered 15x ROAS for clients. But realized I was trading time for money—needed to build products, not sell services.
2024
Pivoted to AI
Co-founded FastPal to help entrepreneurs close more deals with AI-powered sales assistance. First real product company. Learned the power of real-time AI in business workflows.
2025
Scaling Athenum
Founded Athenum Analytics to bring institutional-grade crypto intelligence to retail traders. Building real-time orderbook visualization and whale detection systems.
