Über uns

I started out as a graduate mechanical engineer at ExxonMobil, ... oh no! The slow pace was not me. I took the leap and moved into the pace of software. I switched industries, got addicted to coffee, and started writing code. A few years later PaperCut was born and it's been an amazing ride! With offices around the world, and an amazing team, every day is an opportunity for me to learn.

Other than kids and family of course, my other passion in life is sailing. I come from four generations of competitive sailors, and achieved my life goal in 2015 winning a World Sailing Championship.
