About

I’m Sven, and I live near Leipzig, Germany with my wife and two children. I like gaming, cycling, and building things that connect other things. I dislike cryptocurrencies, AI slop, and my Reddit filter list is 1000+ words and subreddits long. I work as Chief Technology & Product Officer at roadsurfer, where we help people explore the world in campervans. Before that, I did similar things at Delivery Hero, trivago, and a few startups. Sometimes I build open source tools for fun. You can find me on GitHub, LinkedIn, or Strava.
