Hey there! I'm a founder, builder, growth marketer, and open source advocate.
I work as the VP Developer Products at The Linux Foundation, where we steward nearly 1,000 of the world's most critical open source projects. Previously, I co-founded
crowd.dev, the connected developer data platform, which was acquired by the Linux Foundation in April 2024.
I initiated several dev conferences and meetups, for example, the FuzzCon Europe, the Open Confidential Computing Conference (OC3), or most recently the OSS Drinks series with events in Berlin, London, and New York.
Occasionally I invest angel tickets and advise startups on topics like developer marketing, developer-led growth, and open source.
I'm based in Germany, but regularly visit SF, NYC, and London. Outside of work, I enjoy DJing, football (the real one), hiking, and lifting weights.
Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss any of these topics.

Some fun projects.
