About me

Hey! I'm a student of law (former state exam at the University of Freiburg, now LL.B. at the University of Trier due to covid-lockdowns) with a focus on German, European and International Public Law. In 2025, I will start an LL.M. in European Public Law at Maastricht University. Currently, I'm working as a crypto finance & tax expert. In my spare time, I work on my fantasy book series, shoot and edit landscapes and compose/produce liquid drum & bass and epic orchestral music (mostly as a soundtrack for my book series). Besides that, I love lifting, going for a run, cycling, car tuning or just enjoying playing TCGs, FromSoft and oldschool tactical JRPGs. I hope to work at the Council of Europe or an institution of the EU in the future to contribute to a better society, because I believe that European problems can only be solved on a European level.

About blockchain: First of all, it should be made clear that without comprehensive education on blockchain technology, as well as adaptation by states, there will be lawless spaces and opportunities for criminals. That being said, not only could it be the future of finance and third-party provider contracts (e.g.), but I'm convinced that the refugee crisis and the difficulties of the Dublin III Regulation could have been better managed if troubled governments had blockchain technology at their disposal.

That's one of the main reasons why I chose German, European and International Public Law as specialization at university, European Public Law as an LL.M. programme and why I aspire to write my doctoral thesis on the potential of decentralized governance through blockchain technology in the European Union. The legal challenges surrounding GDPR compliance, smart contracts, and cross-border interoperability are substantial, but so are the opportunities for enhancing transparency, efficiency, and citizen participation in public administration.

My desire to make my contribution to society in this regard in the future led me to joining Volt Europa, where I’ve been helping developing the policy program for the 2024 European Parliament elections, focusing on the possibility of taking parliamentary decisions by qualified majority instead of unanimity, transforming the European Court of Justice (ECJ) into a constitutional court and making the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) universally binding on all member states.

Thanks for stopping by!
