I am a Swiss long-distance triathlete competing in Age Group 18–24, focusing on Ironman 70.3 and Ironman racing.
Alongside sport, I work as a software engineer. I approach endurance performance with a structured and analytical mindset — building long-term progression through consistency and data-driven decisions.
My objective is clear: develop step by step toward elite competition in Switzerland.
I struggled with my weight, reaching 150kg. By gradually adding movement into my daily routine and improving my nutrition, I reduced to 100kg.
That’s when I discovered sports seriously and found triathlon. In less than a year, I transformed into a triathlete at 90kg.
This journey taught me resilience, discipline, and the power of consistent, structured progression — lessons that continue to shape my approach to endurance sport and my ambitions for the future.
