Now

What I’m focused on as of May 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

Just gave Datenarchitektur: Das neue Rückgrat moderner Software? with Gernot Starke at JAX 2026 in Mainz — annotated slides are up. Next up: Data-first or Contract-first? with Jochen Christ at Data Mesh Live 2026 in Antwerp, 11–12 June, plus the Thesenarena panel at TDWI München 2026 on 23 June. Full schedule 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.
