About

Dipl.-Ing. (FH)

With over 20 years of experience in embedded software development, I specialize in safety-critical applications and industrial connectivity systems. My skillset covers the entire development lifecycle – from requirements analysis and system architecture to coding, integration, and validation. I bring a strong focus on hands-on implementation and technical excellence.

I support projects either independently or as part of a team, and I've successfully led technical initiatives while mentoring junior developers in software design and decision-making.

For rapid prototyping, debugging, and hardware-in-the-loop testing, I operate a fully equipped electronics lab in Hamburg, Germany. Available for on-site and remote engagements worldwide.
