Now

What I’m focused on as of July 2026.

Work

Building Entropy Data as Co-Founder & CEO. Current focus: agentic data governance — bringing LLM agents into the data contract and data product lifecycle so governance becomes a by-product of doing the work, not a separate gate.

Open source

Maintaining datacontract-cli and datacontract-editor. See the full list on open source.

Speaking

Wrapped up a busy June: a Data Contracts workshop at Data Mesh Live 2026 in Antwerp, A Data Marketplace is What Your Agent Needs at the DATA festival in München, two sessions at TDWI München 2026, and Overview on Standards for Data Products at SummerSOC 2026 in Crete. Taking a lighter speaking schedule over the summer — next dates and past talks on talks.

Writing & research

Peer-reviewed work on data governance with GenAI and LLM-bridged data products — see research.

Where

Gerolzhofen, Germany. Working remotely with the Entropy Data team.
