I am the co-founder and CEO of Limit. We're bringing artificial intelligence to the insurance industry.
I was born in Germany, and grew up all over Europe before moving to the United States to attend the University of Chicago. There, I learned to use mathematics to interpret the world around me, and that building software is the most powerful medium for creative self-expression.
I now live in San Francisco, where I learned that the most important ingredients for progress are grit, agency, and optimism. I love this city, not just for its good sunny weather, but for the culture that has shaped my adult life: the beliefs in freedom and technology to create a better tomorrow.

The true test of any media is how much you think about it afterwards. Some thoughts take a long time to gestate. Below are some of my all-time favorites: these are still often on my mind, even many years later.
