I develop and validate technical solutions for real construction site challenges. Working within STRABAG's Innovation & Digitalisation division, I support projects from problem identification and requirements engineering through concept development, prototyping and field validation. My work combines construction technology, product development, automation, robotics and systems engineering. Over the past years, I have contributed to the establishment of internal prototyping capabilities for construction innovation, including the development of workflows, partnerships and rapid validation processes for new technologies. Selected project examples include: • Smart Construction Helmet (https://progress-magazine.strabag.com/articles/smart_construction_helmet/) • Construction Automation Demonstrators Before joining STRABAG, I co-founded and led MakerLab Hannover, a student-run makerspace focused on hands-on engineering, rapid prototyping and interdisciplinary innovation. I am always interested in exchanging ideas around construction innovation, product development, automation and emerging technologies.
Developing and validating technical solutions for real construction site challenges in the fields of automation, robotics, sensor systems and digital construction technologies. My work includes identifying construction site use cases, gathering requirements, developing concepts and building prototypes and demonstrators that can be tested under real-world conditions. I work at the interface between construction operations, product development and emerging technologies. Key responsibilities include: • Analyzing construction site requirements and translating them into technical solutions • Developing concepts, prototypes and demonstrators • Coordinating internal and external development partners • Testing and validating new technologies on construction sites • Collaborating with startups, research institutes and internal business units In addition, I contribute to the development of internal prototyping capabilities for innovation projects. This includes establishing workflows for rapid validation of new ideas, building partnerships and supporting a “Prototyping as a Service” approach for internal stakeholders.
