FarmElf

Dairy methane, captured at the barn

EuroTeQaThon Europe Winner

Dairy barns leak roughly a tonne of methane per cow per year — a problem large enough to move the climate needle, ignored because no one had a venture-scale answer. FarmElf is my answer: a passive in-barn capture system that sits on the ceiling, runs without operator labour, and ships methane off as usable feedstock instead of atmospheric warming.

Experience

Where the engineering brain was built

TUM — Research Assistant

Technical University of Munich · Sustainability lab

Process modelling and life-cycle analysis on circular-economy systems. Final grade 1.5 (top 5%).

Circular Grain

Sustainability venture · consulting engagement

Built the supply-chain and unit-economics model behind the pivot from pilot to commercial scale.

SAP

Sustainability product team

Worked on carbon-accounting tooling used by enterprise customers to file CSRD disclosures.

Infineon

Semiconductor manufacturing

Process engineering on a fab line — where I learned that sustainability promises need to survive contact with a P&L.

ChitoTrap

Pulling microplastic out of water before it pulls us under

Stanford GSC Europe Winner UCL Venture Capital Winner

Microplastic is already inside every human bloodstream sampled — and existing ocean clean-up tech is mechanical, expensive, and scoped for visible debris. ChitoTrap uses chitosan, a cheap by-product of the shellfish industry, to flocculate microplastic out of water at scale. It is biology's own capture system, re-tooled.
