Hi, ich bin Paul und habe im Dezember 2025 mein Masterstudium in Ingenieurökologie mit dem Schwerpunkt Urbane Grüne Infrastruktur abgeschlossen. Seit über einem Jahr sammle ich Erfahrung im Start‑up-Umfeld mit meinem Konzept ParkletCompany, dessen Vision es ist, Straßenraum flexibel und effizient als grüne Begegnungszonen zu nutzen. Meine Masterarbeit widmete ich der wissenschaftlichen Erforschung und Weiterentwicklung dieses Konzepts.

I work independently, enjoy testing new ideas, and place great value on clear and meaningful communication. I listen actively and involve all team members and stakeholders. With my scientific background and entrepreneurial mindset, I aim to create sustainable solutions that benefit both people and nature in the long term.
