Summary
New technological challenges drive me. As an experienced software architect with over 25 years of project experience, I combine deep expert knowledge in low-level development with the ability to design complex systems in an abstract and future-proof way. My focus is on sustainable, cost-effective architectures and "Clean Code". I communicate decision paths transparently and integrate quickly into interdisciplinary teams.
Although my roots lie in automotive diagnostics and embedded systems, I see architecture as an industry-independent discipline. I enjoy transferring proven principles (like resource efficiency, real-time capability, and clear modularization) to general application programming as well as to new, innovative industries.
I communicate decision paths transparently, prepare business decisions with solid foundations, and integrate quickly into interdisciplinary teams. My goal is not just to write code, but to design systems that remain maintainable and scalable even after years.
