Summary

At the age of 9, I developed my first computer program. It is a wonderful privilege to be able to turn a passion into a profession. As an ambitious self-taught learner, I have built a broad range of skills in IT over the past 33 years, which I am happy to pass on. Artificial intelligence and "smart algorithms" have always been a driving force for my personal development. I move confidently along the value chain, dedicate my work to business success, and help existing and new teams get into the fast lane: always as equals, agile, with backbone and creativity.
