Profile

I am an analytically minded problem solver and versatile all-rounder with extensive experience in data science, automation, and software development. Throughout my professional career, I have successfully planned and implemented complex projects worldwide, showcasing my team orientation and organizational skills.

My particular focus lies in process data analysis and prediction as well as developing visualization solutions that provide deeper insights into production processes. Using modern technologies like Docker, Apache Airflow, and Proxmox VE, I implement innovative solutions that inspire both customers and internal stakeholders.

My technical expertise includes programming languages such as Python and C#, container and virtualization technologies, and process and infrastructure automation. Thanks to my quick comprehension and solution-oriented working style, I am valued as a key contact for colleagues and superiors, especially for complex challenges.
