Wizard

Jun 2026 – Present

I've always been the tools guy 🧙. The one colleagues come to with "what should I use for this?" or "can you help me automate that?" I have a technical background, I think in products, and I have a deep urge to automate everything I touch.

I work hands-on. I advise, and I also build. Sometimes that's a strategy session, sometimes it's a working automation by end of day.

AI Strategy: Where AI actually fits in your product or ops. What to build, buy, or skip. I've made these calls from inside teams, including setting guidelines with engineers on what AI-written code can go to production.
AI Workshops: Hands-on sessions built around your actual tools and problems. Ran these for 50+ colleagues. People leave with something running.

Product

Product Strategy: Roadmap, PLG motions, self-serve flows, pricing experiments. Scaled HEMS from 0 to 3,000+ connected homes, merged three conflicting squads into one strategy.
Prototyping: When validating beats planning, I'll build it. Production code, Figma prototypes, MCP servers, whatever gets to an answer fastest.

Automation

Workflow Automation: n8n flows covering support triage, CRM enrichment, internal tooling, and data pipelines. Set up AI-first customer support that hit >90% automated resolution.
Agents & Integrations: Custom AI agents, MCP server integrations, wiring your tools together. From daily summary agents to carbon accounting pipelines.

If you're figuring out AI, automation, or product direction and want someone who can advise and build, let's talk.

Electricity Maps

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Product Manager

Oct 2025 – May 2026

Back at Monta I used Electricity Maps data and simply loved the product, so when the chance came to join, I couldn't say no. I drove product-led growth, owning the full stack: from pricing experiments and self-serve flows to writing production code and building end-to-end automations. Most of the time I started manual to figure out what's actually needed, then let the process run fully autonomously or with a human-in-the-loop.

Intercom AI Automation: Set up AI-first customer support reaching a >90% automated resolution rate, the remaining conversations I handled manually.
n8n Automation: Built automations covering API trial flows, Scope 2 carbon accounting pipelines calling internal APIs, Intercom-to-HubSpot sync, Clay contact enrichment and qualification, and many smaller automations.
Product-Led Growth: Ran pricing experiments, built self-serve motions via Stripe (which didn't work out at all), validated API trials as lightweight experiments (Tally → Intercom → n8n) before baking them into the product, and shipped onboarding sequences plus an internal changelog process with PostHog annotations.
Production Code: Shipped production code and defined with the engineers what (AI) code can go to prod.
AI Agents: Built custom Dust.tt agents for user snapshots, daily Intercom summaries and product insights on scale.

It wasn't the longest stay 😅 I met amazing people and I learned a lot, but it wasn't the right time for me and I got an offer that was hard to say no to.

GreenKayak

Thu, 01 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMT

Product Manager

Sep 2022 – Apr 2023

I saw a posting for an intern and loved the mission, but I told them I couldn't work part-time without pay. So we found a solution: I did this project as part of my Master's degree. This allowed me to dedicate my "study time" to building a product I actually cared about, while keeping a paying job on the side.

Before the app, GreenKayak's booking ran entirely through the web, which meant little control over the booking experience and data collection. A core part of the NGO's model is reporting the amount of trash collected, and that process was analog and error-prone until the app.

Mobile Booking System: Designed and shipped the app enabling thousands of volunteers to kayak for free in exchange for ocean cleanup. Increasing self-service rate to reduce workload for hosts.
Solo Builder: I acted as a one-man product team: scoping the MVP, building clickable Figma prototypes, testing with users and managing an external dev agency to get it shipped.
Impact: The app is live with 20,000+ downloads and engaged more than 16,000 volunteers in the 2023 season alone, actively helping clean the worlds waterways. Get it on the Play Store or the App Store, or learn more at greenkayak.org.

PS: I might have written a few lines of code myself, but let's not look too closely at those 😊

Monta

Mon, 01 Aug 2022 00:00:00 GMT

Product Manager

Aug 2023 – Sep 2025

I was originally rehired to build "Product Led Support" to stop tickets from out scaling our agents, but as big enterprise clients landed, my team had to pivot to maintaining the exports and notification service (push, sms, email). Then came the opportunity to lead a Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) project with a large Danish utility.

After a year, we hit a wall. We were "shipping our org chart", three different squads with conflicting roadmaps trying to control the charge session of an EV: Grid, Load Management, HEMS. I pushed to merge these into one unified End-to-End Energy Management squad and strategy.

Scaled HEMS: Took the HEMS from 0 to 3,000+ connected homes supporting Solar inverters, Smart Meter readers (MQTT, HTTP) and CT-Clamps via OCPP.
Grid Services: Took ownership of the domain, expanding beyond FCR-D (DK, SE, UK) our portfolio to include aFRR (DK) and overhauling the UX to make complex flexibility markets accessible.
Monta Control: Rebranded and repositioned an internal utility ("CPI tool") into a customer-facing product that became Monta's AI playground.

I've always been the "Tools Guy". I simply love tinkering with new tech, so I naturally ended up helping my colleagues figure out how to use AI to automate the boring parts of our jobs.

Enablement: Ran cross-department sessions and 1:1s, helping colleagues build their own automations.
Zapier Workflows: Built automations to scan sales and CS transcripts, so I stayed on top of real customer problems and could jump in when something spiked (one of my fav automations).
Automation & AI Squad: Joined the squad to push these topics across the entire company, also hosted a hackathon.
First MCP Server: Built Monta's first MCP server to control the entire CPMS via prompts, hooking it up to internal systems to automate QA and generate instant, customized customer demos.

I learned a shit ton 😞

Product Owner

Aug 2022 – Feb 2023

This was my "first date" with Monta, working part-time alongside my full-time Master's. I focused on the B2B side (the legacy Portal), getting my crash course in the EV industry and figuring out what on earth a CPMS actually is.

I got my hands dirty early on, even coding fully functional internal tools that eventually got productized. This was way before the "vibe coding" era, so I actually had to write the code myself, including a beautiful daylight time shift (or however you call this) bug that took me forever to debug 😊.

Full transparency: I extended the end date on this experience so LinkedIn groups it nicely with my return in 2023. In reality, I worked in this position from Aug 2022 to Feb 2023 and took a break for a semester abroad in California.

Sparkle

Fri, 01 Oct 2021 00:00:00 GMT

Co-Founder

Oct 2021 – Aug 2022

Tried to build a company. Spoiler: We failed.

I remember printing hundreds of flyers, throwing them into mailboxes in my hometown, and getting exactly zero responses. I posted on LinkedIn looking for rooftops, got on calls with homeowners, and realized: I have no idea what I'm doing. What we are doing.

We pivoted wildly trying to find something that works:

Solar on Shipping Containers: Too niche
Solar Fintech: Attempting to democratize access for departments (the main dream)
The Final Pivot: An app for apartment renters to participate in the green transition

I spent nights on endless spreadsheet calculations trying to balance risk factors for homeowners against our own exposure. In the end, the math only worked with massive scale. Investors demanded a proof of concept. We realized that without deep capital or a massive network, the risk profile was impossible for three first-time founders.

The Preneur

Fri, 01 Oct 2021 00:00:00 GMT

Co-Founder & Host

Oct 2021 – Aug 2022

During the period when I co-founded and hosted the podcast, it was known as "Technopreneur". We interviewed founders of impact startups based in Copenhagen and built our own studio, which accommodated recordings with up to four people. After producing twelve episodes we transferred ownership of the podcast, which led to the rebranding to "The Preneur".

Listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, or find it on LinkedIn.

Active Ambassadors

Sun, 01 Nov 2020 00:00:00 GMT

Co-Founder

Nov 2020 – Dec 2021

A friend of mine had the idea that we could do something good with our skills while raising awareness for NGOs. I set up our entire work environment: Slack, Google Drive, Google Meet, a website built with Nuxt.js, Prismic, and Netlify, plus Airtable, Mailchimp, and IFTTT. Early days of me figuring out what I could wire together with cloud tools.

You can still find it online: active-ambassadors.org, Instagram, LinkedIn.

Techmob Show

Sat, 01 Jun 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Co-Founder & Host

Jun 2019 – Jun 2021

Three friends needed to talk quite often about technology. Most of the time it could even be described as entertaining. We were also curious about how a podcast works. So why not start one? The Techmob Show was born. The first season contains eight to ten episodes: eight are published, ten are recorded. It's like Schrödinger's cat.

Find it on Instagram and GitHub.

SAP

Thu, 01 Sep 2016 00:00:00 GMT

Technology Consultant

Oct 2019 – Sep 2021

To be honest, I used to think "SAP" was just the name of the arena where the Rhein-Neckar Löwen played Handball. I had zero idea what the company actually did until my grandma took me to their Annual General Meeting. That led to a voluntary internship in 12th grade which turned into something I would have never imagined: me leading parts of a project for all of Germany.

Fast forward to 2020: I went from a student to the Android Lead for Germany's official COVID tracing app (Corona-Warn-App) in about 50 days. After the initial release I got to lead the team, and suddenly I was managing 10+ developers under a lot of pressure.

48 Million+ Downloads: Launched and maintained the app half the country used to trace infection chains
0 to 1 in 50 Days: Built critical public health software with no initial requirements, shipping production hotfixes for millions of users in under 6 hours
Open Source Wins: I was terrified our code would be torn apart publicly, but we built an amazing community. One of the most active and most knowledgeable community members turned out to be a 16-year-old student. As a little thank you, I helped organize an internship for him.

The whole thing is still public: coronawarn.app, GitHub, Play Store, App Store.

It was a weird time during Covid. We stayed on calls just to hear each other type, played "Among Us" to have some kind of team building (I always got killed first), and my roommate literally cooked and brought food to my desk so I could keep working. Danke Amdi :)

Multiple Internships

Sep 2016 – Sep 2019

This is a collection of the 3-month rotations I completed during my "Dual Study" program (Duales Studium). It wasn't just fetching coffee; the program requires switching between university theory and full-time practical work blocks every quarter. I was integrated as a full team member in every rotation, building a full-stack foundation across UX Design, Engineering, and Consulting.

Bachelor Thesis (SuccessFactors): Evaluated JavaScript Frontend Frameworks for enterprise use, conducting trend and requirement analysis.
Analytics Cloud (UX Design): Worked directly with customers to create User Journey Maps and Personas, building clickable prototypes in Sketch.
Utilities & Waste (Consulting): My first touchpoint with energy. Built a "Smart Energy Room" showcase collecting sensor data, forecasting (SAP HANA) and visualizing it in a custom SAPUI5 app.
SuccessFactors (Dev): Developed a SAPUI5 Custom Control enabling content creators to structure content matching their Corporate Identity.
Global Design (Enablement): Developed an internal "Dribbble-like" platform on WordPress and simplified design processes with SAP Fiori in BUILD.
