I build things end-to-end — and got here on a winding road. I started with my hands, training as a certified auto body technician through Germany's dual apprenticeship system. Then industrial machinery, then a stint as an insurance advisor at AXA Munich, and somewhere in there I founded Cittasana — first as a Bhakti yoga practice, today as a small AI-automation studio I run with my business partner.

What ties it all together is curiosity and craftsmanship. Whether I'm welding a fender, sitting in meditation, or writing TypeScript at 2am to ship a new agent tool — I care about doing the work properly. Most of my time goes into Zeus, the agentic OS I designed and built from scratch. It runs my company end-to-end: mail triage, meeting prep, sales pipeline, back-office.

I'm into Bhakti yoga, ancient wisdom traditions, modern AI, and good coffee — usually in that order before noon. If you'd like to say hi, talk shop, or just see what I'm up to, get in touch.

How I work

A few things that shape the work.

No methodology, no framework. Just a handful of stances picked up across the trades, the meditation cushion, and the terminal.

▸ The anchor

Either done right
— or not at all.

The apprenticeship taught me that there's no such thing as a 90% weld. Something either holds or it doesn't. I carry that mindset into every line of code, every system, every client conversation. Crafted work shows.

▸ Inner work

Daily meditation. Daily reps.

Bhakti yoga and a daily sitting practice keep me grounded. The work I do for clients runs through that filter — quieter, less reactive, fewer panic decisions.

▸ Method

Build to understand.

I don't really get something until I've built it. That's how I learn — by shipping.

▸ Range

Hands, heart, head.

I've worked with all three. The combination is what makes interesting things possible.

▸ Why I automate

The systems exist to serve people — not the other way around.

I build automation so my clients (and I) have more time for what actually matters. Anything beyond that is just engineering for engineering's sake. The goal is always less of the busywork, more of the work that only humans can do.

Inside Cittasana

AI Systems + Resilience
for Founders.

Cittasana S.R.L. · Software · AI · Strategy · cittasana.de

"Your business runs — but only as long as you keep burning.

We build the system that replaces you —
inside and out."

▸ Outer Reset · Systems

That's my side.

I architect AI automations, agent runtimes, and back-office systems so the business stops depending on a single human heartbeat. Mail triage, sales pipeline, meeting prep, finance, reporting — the operational weight that eats a founder's week. Zeus is the engine behind it.

▸ Inner Reset · Human

That's my partner's side.

Therapist, meditation and yoga teacher, with deep lineage in contemplative practice. Retreats, 1:1 coaching, nervous-system regulation. Because clean systems on top of a burnt-out operator are just a faster hamster wheel.

"They arrive exhausted.
They leave equipped."

Let's build something worth finishing.

If you're a founder feeling the bottleneck — the one where the business only runs because you personally run it — I'm probably the person to talk to. If you're a collaborator, recruiter, or just curious about what I'm building, even better.
