About me

I began my journey as a software developer in a medium-sized company where I quickly discovered a passion for business optimization by using fitting architecture and innovation. I have focused on DevOps automation and building a centralized container platform. In consulting, I further explored the value of strategy, and now I combine both to develop targeted solutions that truly meet client needs. I love to break down walls between development, operations, business and regulatory units.
