About

Supporting the manufacturing industry in ensuring daily business and addressing future challenges & potentials is my professional passion since 1995. Privately the fascination for technology started way earlier, covering an essential part of microelectronics and communication history from C-64 & dot matrix printers to Raspi clusters & SLA 3D printing, from Usenet over WWW to Campus nets & LoRaWAN. Current recreational obsessions are (mainly) wood crafting with a hobbyist CNC mill and laser engraving/cutting. You can count on me in leveraging technology to create scalable architectures to support - or improve -processes. In utilizing data to create 360° degree views on customers and products, speeding up - not only supply chain - processes by automation or smart redesign. With all the rapid changes it is even more important to have an anchor. For me, this is Sopra Steria, which I joined in 2008 with a team, as I believe in the business model of long-standing customer relations through vertical organizations and of course our company core values. At service if you face challenges and look for - sometimes unconventional - smart solutions. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
