Stories in light and code — and the occasional risk assessment.

I work in risk management. My days are spent asking what could go wrong, how badly, and who would notice first. That habit does not switch off at six. It follows me into the news, into technology, and into the question of why some organisations learn from their mistakes while others repeat them with better slides.

That is what the Journal is for. Tech & AI: what I learn building with automation and language models, including the pipeline that publishes this page. Politics & Economics: the forces behind markets and everyday decisions, read by someone who distrusts tidy forecasts. Business & Risk: decisions, controls, and the gap between the policy and what actually happens. And Photography, where this site started, because some stories are better told in light.

I live in Zurich. I still print my photographs and hang them on the wall. A screen is not a wall.

Everything here is my own view. None of it is about my employer, and none of it is investment advice.

And no, this page was not written by ChatGPT. Claude helped.
