Independent researcher & builderBerlin, DE
I build research tools for open-source intelligence, political networks, and decisions that have to work outside a slide deck.

02 / Selected systems
Not pitch decks. Working instruments, each built around a specific information problem.
Live / public
A structured event database for tracking escalation across regions and over time.
Threshold collects reporting from distributed public sources, classifies events, and turns a noisy news stream into a searchable analytical record.
Designed and built end-to-end: ingestion, classification, database, API, and frontend.
Research prototype
Network reconstruction for people, institutions, and power.
ELITKA resolves public biographical records into auditable relationship graphs—preserving provenance, uncertainty, and temporal overlap instead of flattening them away.
Product prototype
A local job search turned into a walkable route.
Enter an address, inspect nearby venues from public map data, select up to nine, and leave with a practical route—CV in hand.
03 / Profile
My background is in international relations and North American studies. My practice is building the data pipelines, interfaces, and analytical frames needed to test a question in the real world.

I’m open to research engineering, OSINT, risk intelligence, and collaborations where the problem is still messier than the brief.
