I got into tech during COVID. I built a scrappy voice-based database for my uncle’s business. It failed, mostly because it didn’t support local languages. It also showed me I was building from my point of view, not his. So I studied Human-Computer Interaction.

After that I wrote software at Zemoso and at the University of Oldenburg, and now open-source AI at MeshJS. This year I noticed that writing code is no longer the hard part. Every product has competitors, and getting it in front of people is what makes one stand out.

So I moved into Developer Relations at Featherless. The work is half engineering, half sales, close to what an AI solutions engineer does.
