I'm a German-born journalist in San Francisco who helps newsrooms and podcasts explain America's tech economy—clearly, fast, and with context. I report on artificial intelligence, antitrust, semiconductors, and U.S. tech policy, and I'm the founder and editor of Implicator.ai, a daily AI news site. I also take on selected assignments as a senior story editor, producer, or on-air reporter.

From 2017 to 2023 I covered the U.S. West Coast for ARD, reporting from Silicon Valley on everything from antitrust trials and platform politics to wildfire seasons and the rise of generative AI. Before that, I hosted mornings at SWR, helped build the youth brand DASDING, and later moved to Bayerischer Rundfunk, where I worked on digital products and apps.

Strengths

My strengths are editorial leadership and field craft: tightening story arcs, sharpening theses, and landing lines that carry on air—plus calm execution in breaking news. I produce and cut audio and video (Adobe Audition, DaVinci Resolve, Avid Pro Tools, Premiere Pro) and I'm comfortable switching between live hits, voice-led explainers, and longer interviews.

Current Work

Today I split my time between publishing at Implicator.ai—tracking the power dynamics of AI, chips, and infrastructure—and contributing analysis and reported features to European outlets. Recent work includes coverage of AI build-outs, model safety debates, and the business realities behind agent automation.

Recognition

I received the Kurt-Magnus-Preis and a Grimme Online Award.
