Update: building the best trading journal

I'm an independent developer and futures trader based in Berlin. I've been actively trading for 9 years and got into crypto in 2018. I'm especially interested in everything related to trading — CEXs, DEXs, execution, automation, risk management, bots, backtesting, and more. Right now, I focus on building tools for traders, especially around performance analytics.

In 2024, I won the Colosseum Global Hackathon with MainDocs, a financial management tool for institutions. That experience kickstarted my journey into building crypto products.

Before going full-time into trading, I studied aerospace engineering at TU Berlin and worked on spacecraft hardware.
