 At 18, I translated the Qiskit Textbook into German, now part of IBM Quantum Learning. At 21, I started my own venture. Since 2021, I have run quantumworkshop, building DIY quantum computers out of LEGO and 3D-printed parts. More than 2,780 of them are now in circulation across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the UK, and one of our quantum computer builds made it into the German Chancellery under Angela  Between startups, I worked on satellite data management with neuromorphic processors, then joined Quantagonia under Phillipp Hannemann and Dirk Zechiel, using LLM-assisted problem formulation to make operations research accessible to non-experts. The company was acquired by Strangeworks in  Today I build the revenue engine at Kipu Quantum: the GTM systems, customer success motions, and partner relationships that get quantum computing out of research papers and into production. I started there in Customer Success and SDR, then moved into GTM Engineering. I also represent Kipu at industry events and  Kipu Quantum develops quantum AI software and algorithms for industrial applications… to make qc useful on today's hardware. Today more than 400 teams access quantum solutions through the Kipu Quantum Hub across optimization, machine learning, and AI use  Outside work: running, wind, water, and snow sports on boards and skis.
