Founder

Biotechnologist by education, but I specialize in protein processing and texture development for plant-based products. I have a great passion for crafting delicious, innovative foods - I see food as a scientific experiment that can be eaten. Before co-founding Juicy marbles I was working on a variety of hardware projects, from precision farming robots, to inexpensive lab equipment - that experience became quite handy, when we were developing a machine for texturing protein into steaks.
