About

Analytics Architect who turns KPIs into action — designing end-to-end data & AI systems that let leaders see, ask and act in real time. I pair Generative AI / LLMs with crisp data-visualisation so complex issues become instantly clear and actionable. As Gen-AI usage races ahead and visual literacy becomes a leadership must-have, my work converts both trends into measurable results: • Fraunhofer “Future Engineering” – architecting AI-driven market & technology intelligence that shapes enterprise road-maps • Global automotive brand – redesigned executive dashboards; new visuals cut root-cause hunt and decision cycles • IT-service provider – built ITSM production-monitoring dashboards from KPI model to UX prototype now steering daily ops • Gen-AI feedback analytics, City of Nuremberg (2024) – LLM pipeline + dashboards that sharpen citizen-service priorities overnight • Corona Contact-Management System – conceived & shipped in days; blueprint for Germany-wide SORMAS roll-out • Business-development lead, Bissantz & Co. – guided OEM clients into data-driven models and brokered alliances with Microsoft, IBM & Oracle • Chair, TDWI Roundtable Nuremberg – cultivating a growing community where data pros and executives share field-tested use cases How I work: • indicator modelling • data integration & automation • analytic design (Power BI, NLP, software agents, process mining) • intuitive visual & conversational UIs Specialties: Power BI • LLMs • Agents • Process-Mining • Information-Design • Data-Ops I’m fascinated by the instant when numbers stop explaining and start moving — whether via a well-crafted visual or an insight no one imagined before Gen AI.
