About

I bring together a background in business administration, mechatronics, and software architecture to connect business goals with smart technical solutions. I love bridging the gap between strategy and implementation—turning complex ideas into systems that actually work and scale. My work focuses on Process Mining & Automation and Legacy System Modernization. In short, I help companies understand how their processes really run, automate what slows them down, and modernize outdated systems into robust, scalable, containerized solutions built on REST APIs. I usually work with medium-sized industrial companies and tech startups in their scale-up phase—organizations ready to take the next step in efficiency and growth. The results speak for themselves: time savings, cost reductions, and more reliable operations through smart automation and modernization. If you’re looking for someone who can see both the business and technical sides of a challenge—and deliver solutions that make a real impact—let’s connect.
