Technologies I Work With
20+ years of experience with a focus on C#, .NET, and modern cloud technologies.
Three Pillars of My Work
Leadership & Transformation
Servant leadership, Team Topologies, and the courage to transform.
Leading 20 developers through a major transformation -- not by directing, but by serving. Migrating a C# WinForms monolith to a modular SaaS platform while restructuring into stream-aligned teams, a platform team, enabling teams, and a complicated-subsystem team. My leadership philosophy: remove obstacles, foster ownership, invest in people's growth, and trust teams to solve the right problems.
AI & Innovation
Developing AI services, establishing LLM workflows, building the future.
Leading an R&D group focused on AI integration. Built a central AI service running on Azure that handles text processing, speech-to-text, document extraction, and translation in 17 languages - consumed by multiple applications via API. Also: Lecturer on 'AI and EU AI Act', member of LLM research group at University of Cologne.
Knowledge Sharing
Writing, teaching, researching.
Contributing to the developer community through technical articles in dotnetpro and windows.developer magazines. Lecturing on AI and EU AI Act. Participating in academic research on LLM cooperative behavior at the University of Cologne. Serving as IHK examiner since 2012.
