Christian’s parents were entrepreneurs, and he grew up between computer technology and economics. As a kid, he was deeply inspired by an amber, sparkling screen and it's blinking and promising cursor of an AS/400 in his parent’s office. The “Tabula Rasa” or in other words the chance of creating something entirely new from scratch is still driving his passion for information technologies, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality.
