About

Felix is a software engineer, researcher, and entrepreneur based between Munich and the Bay Area. He co-founded Poke, an AI personal assistant built by The Interaction Company of California, and studies Computer Science at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). He spent time as a visiting student at Stanford and a visiting researcher at the University of Cambridge, bringing an international perspective to his work across research and product.

Felix was an Apple WWDC Scholar in both 2018 and 2019 - among the youngest recognized - and later interned at Apple, where he deepened his expertise in the Apple platform ecosystem. His background spans systems programming, machine learning, and product engineering, with a particular instinct for building things people actually want to use.
