Software that holds.
From architecture to the last line.

My path began in the banking sector and then led into airline cost controlling: ten years of architecture, development and support for an airline cost management product, including the design and implementation of its central data warehouse.

Since 2014 I have worked mainly as a freelancer — in public administration, automotive, wholesale, market research and cybersecurity. Today I serve as lead developer for central, cross-sectional business services in the tax domain.

Technically I like to work close to the machine: system software in Rust, compilers and parsers, static code analysis, data models that still hold ten years on. Most of my projects, however, are shaped by the other side — business-driven Java software, where the code can only be as good as the understanding of the domain process behind it. Who decides what, why, and what happens when the normal case does not apply? That translation between the business side and the system — and keeping it comprehensible within the team — is the part I value most.

After many years in established domains, new territory appeals to me: research-oriented work, autonomous systems, AI-driven applications. That is precisely where closeness to the machine meets open questions — a combination I am happy to stay with for the long haul.
