About

I'm a German software engineer with a strong foundation in software development. I have a particular focus on mobile system development, which I've honed through my academic studies. Over the course of my career, I've developed a keen interest in project leadership, particularly in research and development. I'm genuinely enthusiastic about spearheading digitalization and innovation initiatives, where I take on roles as a software and system architect as well as a project manager. Beyond the software realm, I occasionally enjoy stargazing, searching for possible signs of extraterrestrial life in the Milky Way.
