The Path Here
Nurse. Intensive care. Apple. NCsoft. DJ. Zen monastery. 27 countries on a motorcycle. And a protocol that machines can read.
Nursing
Trained in 1994 at St. Johannes-Hospital Duisburg. Many years in intensive care in North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony followed. Reading complex systems under time pressure, interpreting signals, making the right decision before alternatives arise. That's still my working mode today.

England
Brighton from 2004. Network administration, linguistic quality control. 2007: Product Support Specialist EMEA at Apple Operations Europe in Cork. 2009: project lead, Tech Support EMEA at NCsoft Europe in Brighton, until 2011. England gave me a different way of thinking: more direct, more pragmatic, more results-driven.
Tekamin Live
DJ and live act since the early 2000s, alongside nursing. A set is an argument: thesis, development, resolution. Guiding a crowd through an emotional architecture for two hours trains the same skill that builds a long B2B funnel.
Technical SEO
Trained as a media designer 2014 to 2016 in Osnabrück. First company founded in 2017: pix-el.marketing. Then TL-Copywriting, TL-SEO | PRO. Guest contributions on unternehmer.de, raidboxes.io, inboundmarketingdays.com. Entity SEO, semantic dominance, technical architecture.
Herrischried Zen Monastery
August 2020 to April 2021 at the Dharma Sangha Zen monastery. Employed as online program coordinator, living like everyone else there. Zazen, kinhin, oryoki. Complete attention to what is happening right now. The strictest form of quality assurance I know.

Motorcycles and Travel
27 countries in Europe alone on my own motorcycle. North Africa. From Chile through Patagonia to nearly Tierra del Fuego. Currently riding across Mexico. Most recently ridden: Yamaha Diversion 900. Motorcycle journeys teach the same thing as intensive care and zazen: complete attention, no autopilot.
Writing
Seven manuscripts, all complete. The trilogy Anatomie der Frequenzen plus prequel: part-autobiographical, rooted in the world of Synapse Pulse, techno, intensive care and Zen. An Emsland bio-thriller, a historical novel, 1200 Sekunden (a psychological thriller). The fictional world lives on synapsepulse.de.
