What I specifically offer

Implementation: Building AI agents and automation Whether you already have a clear idea or want to find the right solution together – I'm your implementation partner. Digital workers that take on clearly defined tasks – from email processing to content creation to data analysis and beyond. I design the task profile, build the agent system, and integrate it into your existing system landscape.
Process and workflow automation Business processes that were manual become automated workflows – whether with low-code platforms like n8n, Make or Zapier, or with custom code. Connected to your existing tools (Microsoft 365, ERP, CRM). No vendor lock-in, no overhead.
Optional: AI strategy and enablement If desired, I also bring my strategic perspective: Which processes are worthwhile? Where is AI useful and where not? And how do you bring the team along? Scientifically grounded by my own research on AI success factors in SMEs and supported by operational experience as a leader.

Why me

I don't just advise – I build. Full-stack development, AI integration, infrastructure: all from one source.
8 years as CTO/CDO in mid-sized companies. I know the reality in businesses with 50–500 employees.
Certified business coach. Technology rarely fails because of tech. I bring your team along.
Scientifically grounded. I researched the success factors for AI adoption in SMEs in my master's thesis – a valuable complement to my practical experience.
