Anton likes to combine both hardware and social engineering. He loves to figure out what makes people tick as much as what makes machines tick. Together this generates the currency of our times: behavioural change. Anton is also a scrum and lean startup trainer. In this capacity he makes sure great ideas don’t just stay ideas but get out there and make it to the market.
