01 — Profile

The person behind
the systems.

I'm a German software engineer looking for my next position, starting December 2026.

Until the end of November 2026 I'm with the Danish consulting firm Proces Support A/S. Next, I'm looking for a company that needs dependable business software built and kept running — as an engineer, or in a role that combines development with technical delivery.

My work sits where business process meets engineering. I plan, build and maintain highly customised information systems — the kind that quietly carry a company's daily operations for a decade. That means understanding the business before writing the code, and staying accountable for the system long after it ships.

I own the work end to end: requirements, architecture, implementation, deployment and the years of maintenance that follow. That includes the technical project management around it — scoping, sequencing and getting a system safely into production. Clients keep working with me because the systems keep working for them.

02 — Expertise

Five domains,
one thread.

Software that has to survive contact with real operations.

01

Business Information Systems

Custom systems built around how a company actually works, not around a product roadmap. Requirements gathering, data modelling, implementation and the long maintenance tail that decides whether a system is an asset or a liability.

  • Requirements
  • Data modelling
  • Rollout
02

Process Automation

Robotic process automation in the Danish public sector — designing and maintaining software bots that digitised casework at the Agency of Family Law. Repetitive, error-prone, high-volume work turned into something reliable.

  • RPA
  • Public sector
  • Digitisation
03

E-Commerce & Web Platforms

Twelve years extending websites and webshops with custom functionality on open-source foundations, and keeping roughly ninety of them running — integrations, bespoke features and the operational reality of a live storefront.

  • Open source
  • Integrations
  • Webshops
04

Technical Project Management & Deployment

The technical side of getting software delivered: scoping the work, sequencing it, and taking it into production. Planning and deployment handled by the person who also wrote the code — fewer handovers, shorter feedback loops, and decisions made with full technical context.

  • Scoping
  • Deployment
  • Rollout
05

AI-Assisted Development

In 2026, AI became a working part of how I build software. I used a range of AI tools extensively for prototyping, research, code generation and review — shortening the path from requirement to working system. The engineering judgement, and the accountability for what ships, stay with me.
