Email

→ Eastern Europe

I covered topics in places like Kyiv, Moscow, Minsk, Tallin and Tbilissi.

→ Technology

As a staff writer for t3n, and a freelance reporter for Technology Review and Bilanz I spent a lot of time with topics like blockchain, fake news and 5G networks.

→ Music and club culture

I’m especially happy if my topics magically converge in places that also have sound systems.

I studied politics in London and have been working as a journalist for about 10 years now.
