After completing his Abitur in 2014, he began a dual study program in mechanical engineering and in parallel completed a vocational program as an industrial mechanic at “WILO SE”. His focus was on computational fluid dynamics, the structural design of turbomachinery and the development of innovative manufacturing technologies. In 2019, this was followed by a consecutive master’s degree at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. In parallel, he worked as a working student at the company “BUILD.ING Consultants + Innovators GmbH”. Most recently, he was involved in the spin-off of the subsidiary “BUILD.ING Intelligence GmbH” as well as in the founding of his own spin-off.
