About Johannes

In for the long haul.

At first glance, deep tech and long-distance triathlon have nothing in common. Look closer and they share almost everything. Both take years to pay off, and both punish shortcuts. The hardest part of either isn't the start or the finish. It's the long, quiet middle, where nobody is watching.

I learned the physics first, then spent a decade building quantum computers and frontier AI. Training for Ironman and Xtreme triathlon taught me what that work never spelled out: pacing beats intensity, recovery is part of the plan, and discomfort is information, not a stop sign.
