PhD in Mixed Signal Circuit & Chip Design • AI Agent Architect • Bridging Silicon to AI
With a PhD in chip design and thirteen years of engineering research, I bridge the gap between silicon and AI applications. My journey spans the entire technology stack, from microsystems to design and laying out circuits at nanometer technology to architecting AI agent systems. This unique perspective allows me to see technology as interconnected layers, where hardware is goverend by laws of physics and limits of fabiration technology and software is limited by hardware and information system capabilities.
In 2021, I expanded into AI and software development to go up from the substrate layer to application layer and getting a grasp of full stack technology, widening my horizon as a curious engineer to what drives innovation and technology forward in each layer of the tech stack.
Today, I am a full stack engineer, from engineering hardware components bound by physics to designing AI automation and workflows and AI applications. I am an AI native engineer to use this tool in any aspect of my work.
2011-2015
M.Sc. in Microsystems Engineering at IMTEK, University of Freiburg. Multi-disciplinary engineering from micromechanics, microfluidics, process engineering to circuit design.
2016-2020
PhD (Dr.-Ing.) in Mixed Signal Circuit Design at TU Berlin. Designed and taped out 22nm chips for Ethernet transceivers. Published 8+ IEEE papers.
2021-Present
Bridging hardware and software domains. Applying system design into AI applications and open source frameworks.
Current Focus
Expert in ElizaOS framework and agentic AI systems. Leveraging Claude Code in my domain expertise from hardware to AI applications.
IMTEK, University of Freiburg - Multi-disciplinary systems engineering spanning mechanical, fluidic, and electrical domains with focus on circuit design.
Technical University of Berlin - Designed and taped out multiple chips in 22nm FDSOI technology for high-speed Ethernet transceivers.
Beuth University of Applied Sciences Berlin - Delivered comprehensive electromagnetism lectures, bridging theoretical physics with practical engineering applications.
500+ Netflix & Spotify data uploads, partnered with Ocean Protocol. My first passionate idea, but realized users care to use apps to solve their problems not for idealistic view of data ownership.
10 surveys, 500 respondents, $500 bounties distributed. It made sense but realized I want build applications that empower user with their own data, not a business asking for surveys.

Visit WebsiteI bring value in building AI native products and agents, especially on open-source frameworks like ElizaOS. I've designed dozens of agents and plugins and I'm fluent in agentic framework.
I am technical and I teached before in university, I like to make complex topics sound simple and I like to support builders and developers leveraging technology to shape the world.
I'm obsessed with product and user experience. I'm the first user of my own products. I think outside the box to find the most user-friendly way to integrate technology without compromising UX.
Expert in industry-standard EDA tools including Cadence Virtuoso for analog/mixed-signal design, Layout XL for physical implementation, MATLAB and Python for modeling and analysis.
Hands-on experience in PCB design and fabrication, circuit testing and characterization, and silicon tape-out processes. From breadboard prototypes to chips in 22nm FDSOI technology.
Lecturer at Beuth University Berlin (Electromagnetism) and Advanced Analog Circuit Design Lab tutor at TU Berlin MSC. Developed lecture notes, taught numerous sessions, and mentored students through complex hardware concepts. Passionate about making intricate technical topics accessible and engaging.
I excel in being independent and get tunnel focoused to get the job done. I like to spend enough time at the beginning to define a task well by talking with stakeholders, then lock myself in to get to the first MVP in hours.
