Ich entwickle digitale Lösungen, die wirken. Mit über fünfzehn Jahren Erfahrung in Softwareentwicklung, Produktmanagement, Innovationsprojekten und Unternehmensgründung übersetze ich komplexe Anforderungen in nutzerzentrierte Anwendungen – von der Datenplattform bis zur XR-Experience.
Meine Leidenschaft liegt darin, innovative Konzepte nicht nur zu entwerfen, sondern sie in robuste, skalierbare Systeme zu übersetzen. Dabei arbeite ich an der Schnittstelle zwischen Strategie, Technologie und Design und bringe interdisziplinäre Teams zusammen, um Produkte effizient auf den Markt zu bringen.

My strength lies in bridging strategy, technology, and design: I combine a strong technical foundation with a keen sense for usability and business objectives, enabling interdisciplinary teams to build scalable, efficient, and future-ready products. I thrive at the intersection of innovation and execution.
