About

Hello, my name is Dennis! Engineer at heart, driven by curiosity for PLM and the Digital Thread, building true end-to-end product lifecycles. In my current role as PLM Consultant, I migrate and validate Teamcenter business objects for a leading aerospace launcher company, streamlining complex engineering and manufacturing processes. On the side, I build end-to-end automation workflows with n8n, helping SMEs scale smarter with intelligent agent systems. Graduated Master of Science in Engineering Management, focusing Business Agility (May 2023). Previously, I was active in the automotive industry, interning in Germany and China as Production and Supply Chain Engineer. I gained valuable insight on business cooperation and international supply chain management, while continually expanding my knowledge on automotive technologies. Starting in 2018 at a mobility & advertisement start-up in Bremen, Germany, I worked my way into their hardware department as Project Engineer, managing a variety of prototyping projects with other local start-ups. Furthermore, I initiated and conducted a chain of R&D projects with the University of Bremen Production Engineering Institute. As for my future, I wish to work in a diverse managerial environment, where I can take up responsibility, making a change for the people I work with, while satisfying customer needs to the highest possible standards. In my free time, I enjoy cooking for me and the people I care about, hiking and exploring the outdoors.
