I'm a technology executive with over two decades of experience at the intersection of media, software, and digital infrastructure. My work has spanned streaming video platforms, interactive advertising, content delivery, and — most recently — the rapidly evolving world of generative AI.

I've held leadership roles at companies including Adobe and Disney, where I worked on video technology transitions, interactive experiences, and multiscreen delivery. I've served on the Streaming Video Alliance Board of Directors since 2018, contributing to industry standards around OTT metadata, CMAF, and next-generation video formats. I hold a US patent for replacing content surfaces in video (US 10306286) and was named to the Cablefax Digital Hot List in 2014 and 2015.

I'm currently a technology executive at Disney, where I work on video technology, streaming platforms, and digital experiences. Overdigital is my personal hobby — a space outside of work where I get to build, experiment, and write about what I find interesting.

Outside of the day job, my focus is applied generative AI — not just as a user, but as a builder. I run local large language models on an RTX 5090, build custom AI-powered applications, and explore what it means to integrate these tools into real products and workflows.

Current side projects include the TheDoodleCast — an AI-assisted podcast platform with a real-time chatbot powered by a locally-hosted Llama 3 model — and this blog, which I use to document what I'm learning and building.

I write in English and German, and I'm equally comfortable talking about transformer architectures and the business models that will actually make AI sustainable. If something here sparks a conversation, reach out.
