Dicy Icon

Dicy

My proudest creation yet. Its an iOS native app that helps people cut down screentime using a simple mechanic: roll a dice each day to earn time on distracting apps. Built on Apple‘s Screen Time API. Currently live in the AppStore with 500+ active users.

Phantom

Phantom is a new kind of AI interface for the Mac. Instead of living in a chat window, it sits in the notch, understands what’s on screen, and operates apps by clicking, typing, and navigating like a person. It can execute multi-step workflows autonomously in the background or collaborate with me in real time.

I built Phantom to explore what comes after chat: AI as an interface layer for the entire operating system. It’s a tool I use daily.

Cali

My first app ever. It all started with the desire to build something of my own and, in the process, learn a new skill. I chose a simple format to train myself, and thus Cali was born: a simple, intuitive calorie tracker that uses AI to detect the nutrients in your food. It also features an integrated AI chat where you can ask a personalized nutritionist questions or even have a custom diet plan created for you.

Beyond Work

Piano

My journey with the piano began at the age of 6, blossoming into a passion I have nurtured for over 12 years. Beyond solo performances, playing in ensembles and four-hand pieces with friends has been incredibly rewarding, teaching me invaluable lessons in coordination, deep listening, and teamwork.


Over the years, my dedication has been recognized with multiple awards:

  • Rotary Award: 6 First Places, 1 Second Place
  • Jugendmusikwettbewerb Zentralschweiz: Urkunde 3 Sterne (überragend) & Urkunde 2 Sterne (sehr gut)
  • Schweizerischer Jugendmusikwettbewerb Entrada Classica: 3. Preis
