About me

I'm Christopher, studying Sociology and People-Oriented Computing at the University of Zurich and working as a Research Assistant at the Department of Sociology. I'm driven by the question of how digital systems can be designed to serve as many people as possible.

During my studies, I've learned to empirically analyze social phenomena and structures, apply quantitative methods and statistical models to social science research questions, and understand how the interaction between people and digital systems can be researched, designed, and improved. I've been particularly shaped by courses in Human-Computer Interaction, Computational Social Science, Social Computing, and Digital Sociology, where social science thinking and technical tools come together directly.

What interests me most: Where do interactions with digital systems need to be better designed so they work for people? And where do we need socially negotiated guardrails so that technological progress doesn't come at the expense of democratic participation and social justice? Good technology doesn't emerge in a vacuum, but always in a social context that must be understood and co-shaped.

I love cinema, literature, and I'm a justice enthusiast.
