With a passion for decentralization and democracy, I founded "Open-Source-Economy" to blend open-source ethos with business principles. One of the first engineers at Swissborg, I helped architect their financial system, enhancing accessibility for over a million users. Fluent in multiple languages, I've shaped my perspective on democracy through diverse cultural interactions. Beyond work, I advocated for direct democracy through a YouTube channel and attended a democratic high school emphasizing student participation and self-governance.
