The thread
I'm an IT Consultant and GRC system administrator at Energie AG Oberösterreich, where I run the Governance, Risk & Compliance platform GBTEC, write the SQL behind its dashboards, and model the processes it governs.
Alongside that I work as a freelance full-stack engineer for small and mid-sized businesses, and as co-founder of two AI ventures: Pactonic and Quantent AI. I'm completing a Master in Business Informatics and a Magister in Law at JKU Linz — that pairing is the thread through all of it: building the technology, and being trained to reason about the regulation that decides whether it survives contact with the real world.
I also founded Die Klimaheldin, a children's book and workshop format on sustainability and plastic waste — nominated for the Movers of Tomorrow Award.
