I led software projects in Germany and on-site in the United States, Japan, Taiwan, China and India. My work experience started with Unix kernel software development at Siemens and continued with development management of anti-fraud systems for banks, payment platforms, credit and debit card issuing, high-traffic magazine websites and Industry 4.0 solutions for sound customers at other software companies. I conducted technical due diligence for M&A transactions at companies featured on public TV and was the co-founder of CharterCheck.com. I worked with AWS IoT and was a speaker at an IoT conference on "Best practices for successful industrial IoT projects".
I’m particularly interested in cloud-independent AI and Digital Sovereignty, experimenting with OpenClaw and Hermes Agentic AI, off-grid LLMs and AIoT. I hold a Diplom-Informatiker Univ. degree in Computer Science from the Technical University of Munich.
