What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and allow me to lead impactful projects in AI and blockchain.

I am a seasoned technology leader with a strong background in software engineering and entrepreneurship. As the CTO and co-founder of Compass Labs, I am currently building a unified API for DeFi, focusing on non-custodial solutions and leveraging custom GPT technology. My role involves leading a talented team of engineers and driving innovation in the digital assets space. I successfully raised $2M in venture capital funding from top-tier investors, including a16z, demonstrating my ability to attract investment and build high-growth technology companies.

Previously, I worked at Google X as an AI software engineer, where I developed an MVP for an AI-based monitoring tool and contributed to projects involving wearable devices and machine learning pipelines. My experience at Volkswagen further honed my skills in deep learning and autonomous driving technologies, where I was responsible for developing perception pipelines for real-time object detection. My academic background includes a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from TUM, where I specialized in Computational Engineering and High-Performance Computing.
