About Me
Passionate about transforming businesses through technology
At my current client, I'm responsible for infrastructure and dev-enablement, leading a team while still writing code - mostly AI-assisted these days. At TNG Technology Consulting, I'm driving initiatives around AI-assisted coding: how to use it effectively, how to teach it, and where it's taking professional software development.
My technical background spans TypeScript, React, Angular, Java, Spring Boot, and cloud technologies like AWS and Kubernetes. I studied Computer Science at KIT with a focus on IT Security and Cryptography.

Cloud Architecture
Designing and implementing cloud-native solutions with AWS and Kubernetes.
Team Leadership
Leading technical teams and mentoring developers to achieve project excellence.
AI-Assisted Development
Passionate about leveraging AI tools like Cursor and LLMs to focus on software design over implementation details.
