LOIS is the central integration platform that enables the processes between all REWE applications across the entire supply chain. As an IT Business Engineer, I support the NEO program in renewing the logistics integration platform "LOIS" for REWE and Penny in Germany and Europe.

I implemented a Zero-Trust architecture for robust, military-grade maritime container mini data centers based on VMware & Tanzu to support containerized GIS workloads for ground forces. The main focus was on securing communications, workload protection, and data access in contested electronic battle environments affected by jamming, interception, signal manipulation, and constantly changing operational conditions. I designed and architected use cases so that every element of workload, identity, and system could continue to operate independently and securely even in degraded or disrupted scenarios. In parallel, I defined the enterprise and solution security architecture with LeanIX, Bizzdesign, and HOPEX as enterprise architecture, repository, and governance platforms to maintain architecture inventory, relationships, traceability, target pictures, and security governance in complex environments. For the architectural designs, I used Sparx Enterprise Architect to describe formal architecture views, interfaces, trust boundaries, and system architecture in both IT and OT environments. IriusRisk was used for threat modeling of the solution to identify architecture-driven risks, derive security requirements, and detect countermeasures and design gaps directly from the solution models. Risk and compliance management was supported with Archer. Architecture decisions, control gaps, and operational risks were translated into controlled governance and auditable compliance measures. For documentation, collaboration, and visual design, I used Confluence to maintain Architecture Decision Records, Security Blueprints, and workflows. I used Lucidchart and draw.io to create design artifacts tailored to stakeholders. I also defined OT security concepts with support from electrical and mechanical engineers in the areas of oil, vehicle onboard systems, rail, power plants, pharma, gas turbines, and nuclear technology. I created the end-to-end OT security strategy, starting with global policy, developed into standards and procedures, and finally aligned with Bell-LaPadula, Purdue Model, SABSA, TOGAF ADM, CENELEC 50701, IEC 62443, and NIST standards. In addition, I worked with engineering team leads to identify critical KBP assets and place them under protective measures that segmented SCADA, PLC, and HMI assets. I drove collaboration between Security, IT, and OT teams to create standardized workflows and use cases for the OT security solution catalog, while integrating Defense-in-Depth and Zero-Trust principles into operational environments. A key part of my work was integrating multidisciplinary engineering, security, and operations stakeholders into a unified security blueprinting strategy and ensuring that architecture, threat modeling, governance, and documentation were technically strong and operationally practical.

Are you looking for more than just a developer, but a partner who understands business processes and develops sustainable solutions? Then I am the right person for you.

For more than 24 years, I have been helping companies develop software solutions, use data intelligently, and make business processes more efficient. I combine solid technical expertise with a deep understanding of business operations and economic relationships.

My focus is on developing custom software and database solutions as well as integrating existing systems. I have implemented numerous projects in which CRM, ERP, webshop, logistics, and other business systems were connected with each other. The result is automated processes, less manual work, and higher data quality.

I also develop business intelligence and data warehouse solutions as well as management reports that give decision-makers a reliable data basis at any time.

I get up to speed quickly in existing systems and also find practical, cost-effective solutions for complex requirements. I always keep the overall system in view - not just individual lines of code.
