Interested in mechanisms more than in disciplines.
I grew up in Munich and left Germany at sixteen for Gresham’s, a boarding school in Norfolk, where I finished the International Baccalaureate with 45 points out of 45. I moved to Switzerland in 2025 to study at the University of St. Gallen.
What holds my interests together is breadth rather than a single subject. I want to know how things actually work — economies, organisations, technologies, institutions — and the explanation from one field is often the thing missing in another. At school that meant history and mathematics side by side; since then it has meant economics, data analysis and a fair amount of automation.
Where I want to end up is more technical than where I am now: the quantitative end of economics, and beyond it mathematics, computer science and engineering. I am not there yet — the coursework is only starting to move that way — but the direction is deliberate.
