My Tech Journey: From Fascination to Purpose
Technology has ignited my imagination since childhood. From tinkering with gadgets to dreaming up futuristic inventions, I’ve always been captivated by the power of innovation.
My journey deepened when I immersed myself in the world of 3D printing, where I witnessed firsthand the technology’s potential to revolutionize design and manufacturing. I contributed to open-source projects, democratizing access to this exciting field. Each layer deposited fueled my fascination with how technology can transform ideas into reality.
However, as I delved deeper into the industry, I realized that sustainability was often overlooked. I saw an opportunity to create functional, beautiful, and environmentally friendly products that not only reduced waste but also promoted a circular economy. Therefore I founded Circular 3D and my startup Circuteria with the vision to create a society that is regenerative by design, using natural materials at their highest value that enable a truly circular economy.
Unlocking Blockchain’s Power for Positive Change
As I realised that most change towards sustainability, equality and inclusion is hindered by our system, I learned more about blockchain and participated in meet ups and hackathons within the Berlin ecosystem.
My journey through the Token Engineering Academy and experiences at events like Blockchain Week, ETH Prague, and Zuzalu Berlin deepened my understanding of blockchain’s capacity to create new economic models, foster collaboration, and empower communities. I was particularly drawn to its potential to redefine ownership, transparency, and accountability, providing a foundation for equitable and sustainable systems.
Driven by a strong belief in blockchain’s power to address systemic challenges, I am eager to contribute to projects that prioritize sustainability, equality, and inclusion. By leveraging blockchain’s unique characteristics, we can develop innovative solutions that empower individuals, protect our planet, and create a more fair and equitable world.

Pushing Limits, Building Solutions
Hackathons became my proving ground for innovative solutions. Through numerous late nights and intense coding sessions, I’ve collaborated with brilliant minds to address pressing societal challenges. These experiences taught me the power of rapid innovation and the importance of diverse perspectives in technology.
Shaping a Better Future Through Responsible Tech
However, my journey has also opened my eyes to technology’s dual nature. With every breakthrough comes potential risks and ethical considerations. This realization has shaped my purpose: to harness technology’s power for good while actively working to mitigate its potential downsides. Standing at the intersection of innovation and responsibility, my goal is to:
- Leverage my diverse tech experience to create solutions that address pressing global challenges
- Advocate for ethical tech development, ensuring that progress benefits all of humanity
- Bridge the gap between cutting-edge innovation and practical, accessible applications
- Inspire and mentor the next generation of tech enthusiasts to approach innovation with both excitement and responsibility
As we face an era of unprecedented technological change, I’m committed to being a positive force in shaping our digital future. Join me in this exciting journey as we explore, innovate, and strive to make the world a better place through ethical and purposeful technology.
