Summary
Hello dear profile visitors,
Digital transformation is my passion – I'm especially excited about areas like IoT, IIoT, AI, and Augmented Reality, as well as the relatively new field of the Unified Namespace (UNS) using MQTT, which enables large-scale IT/convergence and integrates existing system architectures (MES, ERP, ...) into a real-time-enabled environment.
From crafting smart sales strategies to introducing cutting-edge technologies, I've always focused on linking technological innovation with business growth.
I'm also eager to support startups in all matters with my network.
Driving innovation, pushing boundaries, and creating sustainable progress – that's my goal.
Let's get started together!
