I started out as a musician: Jazz Guitar bachelor’s and Music Pedagogy master’s at ZHdK, then years of playing in various ensembles. Since 2019, I’ve also been teaching guitar at the Musikschule Region Thun.

When COVID brought the live music scene to a standstill in 2020, everything vanished practically overnight: gigs, tours, income. Instead of waiting it out, I started teaching myself software development. What began with online tutorials and small projects quickly turned into a genuine passion and first led to my own small agency, «der seitenschneider».

Since 2022, I’ve been a co-owner of morntag, a content-first agency based in Brugg. We help publishers and businesses with WordPress solutions, webshops, and multi-channel publishing, getting the right content to the right audience at the right time. Since 2023, I’ve also been playing with the Swiss band Halunke, alongside other projects, choirs, and sideman gigs.

Drawing from my own experience as an instrumental music teacher, I created Eleno, a SaaS platform that helps music teachers plan and manage their lessons. What started as a personal problem became a product used by teachers across Switzerland today.

Today I split my time between code and music, between agency work and the stage. I build digital products that help people in their daily lives, and still play gigs in the evenings.
