PHILOSOPHY
My Approach:
Independence As a freelance consultant, I’m not tied to any manufacturer. This enables me to provide objective recommendations based solely on your needs – not on sales targets.
Practical Orientation Theory is important, but in production, results count. My training and solutions are practical and immediately applicable.
Technical Depth As an engineer and developer, I understand both sides: Production reality and the technical possibilities of modern software. This combination enables optimal solutions.
Continuous Learning Technology constantly evolves. Through my ongoing Master’s degree in Data Science, I stay current and integrate modern approaches like AI and data analytics into my consulting.
Long-term Partnerships I don’t seek quick projects, but sustainable relationships. Many of my clients have been working with me for years.
