Solution Manager / Architect

The state of Saarland issued a tender for a primary school messenger. In my role at Sdui GmbH, I led and won the tender. This resulted in an app that is now used in all primary schools in Saarland. The app is available in the App Store under the name “OSS Messenger”. For preparing the tender and implementing the OSS Messenger, I used my skills in gathering, analyzing and evaluating business processes in the context of public administration and managed the development team with agile methods.

For Rackow Schools, I took over the conception and project management of the three-person development team. As part of the project, the existing software (school management system) was migrated from an MS Access program to a modern PHP framework (Laravel + Blade) and introduced step by step into ongoing operation, which was made possible by a planned configuration and release management. My tasks included:

• designing and gathering requirements for the new software
• transferring the MS Access data model to a MySQL-based database model
• planning workflows and directing developers
• carrying out editorial tasks (harmonizing documents, adjusting layouts, etc.) for school management and carrying out ISO standard software certification fully supporting BSI guidelines.

Invertas works as an independent insurance and financial consultant in the Frankfurt metropolitan area. To manage commissions for employees and freelance advisors, I defined and built a platform with management that maps the internal sales structure, distributes commissions over the term of contracts and gives each employee an overview. In this project, I used my skills in agile project management, requirements engineering and building the development team to lead the project to success.

Since early 2020, I have been supporting Europe's largest wine machine manufacturer in its digitization strategy via Sdui GmbH. In my role, I designed and implemented a system landscape around viticulture using machines produced by ERO. My tasks included:

• gathering requirements and designing the software systems
• setting up and planning the IT infrastructure with AWS
• designing the company's new digital department
• hiring and training new employees
• implementing the systems that map ERO's new digital product portfolio
• setting up software architectures, databases and frameworks such as NodeJS, Kubernetes, ReactJS, MongoDB, etc.
• documentation and reporting with MS Office: Word, PowerPoint, Visio / Adobe Suite, Excel, Jira
• continuous configuration and release management

As co-founder and CEO of GoContract, we built an investor-funded startup for digital contract management and sold it in April 2022. The company's value lay in the proprietary encryption algorithm we developed.

For SEW Eurodrive, I led the team responsible for maintaining the company's global web presence on the software side. My tasks included:

• logging incidents and resolving them with our development team (languages: JavaScript, Python)
• carrying out editorial work (harmonizing documents, adjusting layouts, etc.) in the area of release management and release documentation/communication.

Additionally, during this time I set up and introduced a new release process for the CMS-maintained website content used worldwide, which is still in use today.

Before my time, Vainplex GmbH had developed a CMS that allowed Audi to bring its print magazines online. My task was to maintain this CMS and incorporate Audi's change requests into the system (Ruby on Rails, JavaScript) based on the design thinking methodology.
