About

Engineer & Dr.-Ing. building real-world systems across mobility research, XR simulation, and product development. At TUM, I develop and operate simulator-based research toolchains (Unity/XR + traffic simulation + data pipelines) to validate complex scenarios and study VRU interactions. In parallel, I’m the co-founder of 7Wolf Studios, where we create app-driven game experiences and prototype the underlying tech—from software architecture to hardware iterations. I like problems that sit between disciplines: simulation ↔ AI ↔ product engineering, where success means something is robust, testable, and usable—not just a nice slide.

7Wolf Studios

2025-3 - Present · 1 yr 7 mos

7Wolf Studios is an independent studio building digital-first party games and board-game hybrids- where your phone becomes the game master and optional hardware turns play into a physical, instant “everyone can join” experience. We focus on: - Companion-app games (iOS/Android) that guide the group, manage rules, and keep the pace high - Social deduction & party formats designed for real tables, not solo screens - Modular platforms: one core app, multiple game modes, expansions, and add-ons - Hardware-friendly design (optional buzzers/accessories) to create tactile, plug-and-play gameplay Our approach is simple: prototype fast, playtest in real groups, iterate based on feedback, and ship experiences that are easy to start, hard to put down. Keywords: party games, social deduction, companion app, digital game master, board-game hybrids, modular expansions, mobile + hardware experiences.
