Founder making the world a fairer place

About

I’m a father of two and husband to an amazing woman. I moved to Germany in 2012 to research particle physics but soon realized I wanted to build something more tangible. After struggling to find a dev job, I eventually became CTO of a fintech startup, Chintai, where we built a platform managing billions in private equity. Now, I’m building TalentAid to help people navigate the job market with AI—so no one has to rely on luck to find the career they deserve.

Parents, what kind of technology do you let your kids play with?

We ve already talked a few times about how handing a child a tablet isn t always the best solution.

Meanwhile, some countries are starting to ban access to social media for minors (even my country is considering a ban up to age 16).

But there are certain technologies that can actually develop a child s talent and imagination through play.

Building a SaaS is 50% coding, 50% fixing the stuff you broke yesterday 😭

The real founder coding vibe:

  • You ship a small fix break 3 things

  • You deploy confidently production crashes

  • Local works perfectly Vercel says nah

  • You spend 1 hour coding 4 hours debugging

  • Slack notifications hit instant anxiety

Founders know the pain:
You re coding, marketing, fixing bugs, writing docs, and answering customer emails all at the same time.

What s your funniest or most painful founder-coding moment recently?
Let s vibe in the chaos

What’s the #1 thing you want AI to fix in your job search?

AI is changing hiring fast but it still feels broken.
If you could wave a magic wand and have AI instantly solve one job-search problem
What would it be?
