Profile

Strategic technical partner for founders and product teams building complex systems that must remain coherent as they grow.

I translate vision into architecture.

With 20+ years of experience across aviation, automotive, telecommunications, e-learning and digital platforms, I operate at the intersection of systems design, product thinking and human collaboration.

I am often brought in when:

  • A product is scaling and structural cracks begin to surface
  • Technical debt accumulates quietly
  • Creative direction and architecture drift apart
  • Founders need a trusted technical counterpart who sees the whole field

I combine deep hands-on literacy — from low-level programming to cloud-native systems — with high-level pattern recognition. I sense structural friction early, detect incoherence before it calcifies, and help teams make decisions that preserve long-term clarity over short-term patchwork.

I build when needed — but my strength lies in shaping systems so others can build well.

I work best with intelligent, design-sensitive teams who care about what they are creating and why.

I am drawn to frontier domains where emerging structures need stabilization. In those environments, I bridge builders and decision-makers, mentor without ego, and help shape systems that remain clear, steady and human as they evolve.

Particularly interested in:

  • Creative tech
  • Media-tech hybrids
  • Educational platforms
  • Early-to-mid stage companies scaling responsibly
  • Purpose-driven digital products

Open to Vienna-based or international hybrid environments.
