Summary

In the world of automation & IT, my goal is clear: to deliver answers that are not only precise but also create a wow effect. That confirmation drives me because it shows I've understood the challenges. My curiosity is my engine, pushing me to get to the heart of complex questions and develop innovative solutions, always looking for new perspectives. As a link between electrical engineering and IT, I don't just speak their language, I understand how they think. My drive is to leave a lasting mark in the world of automation & IT through my expertise.

I take initiative and present myself as an expert who can support your company competently. In today's dynamic business world, efficient integration of automation technologies and IT systems is crucial for sustainable success. Especially as production processes become more complex, precise coordination between automation and IT is necessary to ensure smooth operations. As an engineer, I've seen many companies struggle to bring these two key areas together seamlessly to achieve optimal results. That's exactly where I come in with my service and consulting concept, full of energy, know-how, and foresight.

My many years of experience and deep understanding of both disciplines allow me to develop innovative solutions that not only solve existing problems but also uncover opportunities for efficiency improvements and cost savings. I'm fascinated by how a few components, some keyboard clicks, and enough electricity can bring a highly complex machine to life. This passion for creating innovations through the fusion of technology and creativity has shaped my career and fuels my constant drive to improve.

I would be happy to explore with you the opportunities that optimizing your automation and IT strategies can offer. I look forward to discussing your individual requirements in a dialogue. Together, we can set the course for a successful and future-oriented direction for your company.
