Founder of Phaeacia, student of International Affairs, and an enthusiast for tinkering with things. Phaeacia lets people share and manage their AI agents. Before that, I co-founded Downstream Intelligence, advised at a UN mission and worked at the intersection of startups and public diplomacy in San Francisco. I'm also a press and information officer in the Swiss Armed Forces and completing my dual master's degree between The Fletcher School and the University of St.Gallen.
Most of it works. I never expect it to.
