About me

I am a self-taught, passionate software engineer — and, by now, a product owner. My path started early: at 16 as a consultant in a start-up. Over more than five years that curiosity has grown into a broad foundation.

The arc

In the early years I worked as a full-stack developer, taking custom software from idea to operation — as a freelancer, as a consultant, and as CTO of Vidama GmbH, where as the sole developer I owned an enterprise media library for the sales partners of EWE and osnatel.

Then came the platform side: as a systems administrator at an IT service provider for public health insurers, I operated container platforms (OpenShift/Kubernetes) and the business applications running on them. From that operations work I grew back into software engineering and eventually into product ownership: today I am the product owner of an internal AI assistant — a multi-agent architecture that reaches live data through MCP-based tool-calling, operated GDPR-compliant inside the EU.

How I work

That order — engineering, then operations, then product — shapes how I make decisions. I think about architecture from operational reality: what can actually be run, what genuinely honors data-protection commitments, where complexity pays off and where it does not. My focus is robust, scalable software that brings technical and business requirements together — and clear, reasoned trade-offs rather than buzzword-driven choices.
