Summary

As an E-Commerce Consultant and Solution Architect with over 20 years of experience, I help companies digitize, modernize, and scale their IT and commerce landscapes.

I hold a degree in Computer Science with a strong development background, and I see myself as a bridge between business, IT, and software development. This combination allows me to assess complex requirements not only conceptually, but also to implement them in a technically sound and realistic way.

I combine my experience from CTO roles, international rollouts, and enterprise e-commerce platforms with agile project management, solid architecture work, and measurable results – strategic, structured, and execution-oriented.
