Joined bitB as an intern. Left as CFO. Now I do it for everyone.
Trained in engineering and economics — the quant + finance combo the platform leans on. Engineering for the optimisation / stochastic / control side; economics for the markets / pricing / contract-structure side.
Five years at bitB Staking, one of the most successful staking operations in tournament poker — joined as an intern, left as CFO. Ran the expansion across game types (MTTs, cash, mixed) and built the financial models that made the operation scale.
After bitB I helped build and exit a second stable — capital, roster, EV models, deal structures, end-to-end. Acquirer and entity under NDA. Today I work with multiple stables and serious individual players: capital allocation, makeup, ROI assessment, treasury, and the math that decides whether an operation compounds or quietly bleeds out.
muchomota is the quant shop I wished existed when I started — not a training site, not a coaching brand, not another bankroll app. A small consultancy plus a software stack that treats your career, or your stable, the way Jane Street treats a book of trades: with a model, a budget, and a thesis.
The work: proprietary systems — MUCHO for the population atlas and shrinkage, MOTA for action pricing, Schedule for the weekly grind, Action Buy-In for fair stake splits, a skew-aware Monte Carlo for the EV inputs they all need, and the Stable tier for roster-wide accounting and audit. The rest is consulting: deal structures, makeup, treasury, and the hard conversations about when to ladder up and when to sit out.
Track record.
- 2020 — present
muchomota / Mota GmbH
Founder. Quant systems and operational stack for a portfolio of stables and serious individual players. Hamburg, DE.
- 2020 — 2024
Stable build & exit (NDA)
Helped build a separate stable from scratch — capital, roster, EV models, deal structures, end-to-end. Exited via private acquisition; details under NDA.
- 2015 — 2020
bitB Staking
Joined as intern, left as CFO. Five years on the inside of one of the world's most successful staking operations. Ran the expansion across game types (MTTs, cash, mixed) and built the financial models that made the operation scale.
- 2005 — 2015
Professional play
NLHE cash games — 6-max and heads-up, online and live. Short MTT stint mixed in. Plays recreationally now — dogfood for the tools.
- Education
Engineering & Economics
Formal training in both. Engineering for the quant / optimisation / stochastic-process toolkit; economics for the markets / pricing / contract-structure side. The platform sits squarely on that overlap.
