Engineering generalist with 8+ years building end-to-end systems from concept to production. Led cross-functional teams, co-founded startups, and delivered solutions spanning robotics, AI/ML, automation, and full-stack development. Proven track record in technical leadership, production deployment, and bridging business needs with engineering excellence.
I help businesses in Germany and across the EU automate their workflows using no-code/low-code platforms (n8n, Make, Zapier) combined with custom integrations and production-grade solutions. My approach ensures your team receives complete documentation and handover, so you remain independent and can scale without ongoing dependency on external consultants.
With 8+ years of hands-on experience building end-to-end systems from concept to production, I bring a unique combination of technical depth and business acumen. My diverse background spans hardware design, software development, AI/ML systems, and startup leadership—giving me the ability to see the full picture and bridge gaps that pure no-code solutions can't address.
While no-code/low-code platforms handle 80% of automation needs beautifully, sometimes you need custom logic, complex integrations, or performance optimization. I can build Python scripts, FastAPI endpoints, Docker containers, and custom webhooks to extend your automation stack beyond platform limitations.
I don't just set up workflows—I ensure they're production-ready with proper error handling, logging, monitoring, retry logic, and governance. Every solution includes documentation, runbooks, and training so your team can maintain and extend it independently.
Having co-founded startups and led technical teams, I understand the balance between speed, cost, and quality. I prioritize solutions that deliver measurable ROI and align with your business goals, not just technical perfection.
My background in robotics, AI/ML, hardware, and full-stack development means I can identify opportunities others might miss. Whether it's integrating IoT sensors, building custom APIs, or connecting legacy systems—I've done it all and can bring that expertise to your automation projects.

Key areas of expertise aligned with my service offerings
No-code/low-code platforms are powerful, but they have limitations. When you need custom logic, complex data transformations, or integrations that platforms don't support, I can build the missing pieces.
Build FastAPI endpoints for complex business logic, data validation, or integrations that don't have native connectors.
Create custom scripts for data processing, file manipulation, or workflows that require advanced logic beyond platform capabilities.
Deploy containerized services that extend your automation stack, handle high-volume processing, or integrate with legacy systems.
Build webhook receivers, custom connectors, or bridge systems that don't have native integration support.
Optimize slow workflows, reduce API costs, implement caching strategies, and improve reliability beyond platform defaults.
