Profile

Two worlds. One profile.

Most people in finance know one side of this divide. I've spent years building credibility on both — advising clients inside one of Germany's largest mutual insurers while deploying capital and strategy across DeFi protocols.

Research

Tokenizing the real world — researched, not hyped.

I wrote and published an independent, fully cited research report on real-world asset tokenization — how on-chain infrastructure, market structure, and European regulation come together, and where the opportunity actually is.

  • Market structure and infrastructure of the RWA sector
  • Regulatory perspective from inside the German financial industry
  • Written with academic rigor — full APA citations, published on SSRN

On-Chain

Skin in the game since 2020

My DeFi experience isn't theoretical. I've provided liquidity, built my own tooling, and put my own capital behind an RWA startup — through bull and bear markets.

Liquidity provision — DLMM/CLMM

Active liquidity provider using discretized and concentrated liquidity (DLMM/CLMM) strategies on EVM and MoveVM. Hands-on with liquidity mechanics, rebalancing, and fee optimization across market regimes.

Since 2020

Custom analytics tooling

Designed and built spreadsheet-based tools for impermanent-loss tracking and LP position monitoring — because off-the-shelf dashboards didn't answer the questions that matter for P&L.

Self-built

Angel investment — RWA

Early backer of BlackFrog, an RWA launchpad tokenizing critical mineral commodities — invested via convertible note in 2025 and active as business development advisor since.
