Services

What you get from me: solutions instead of buzzwords.

Six focus areas, one point of contact in Berlin. You do not book a team of roles but one person who can switch between them when your project needs it.

One contact, many roles

One person who knows your project from every angle

Depending on the phase, I take on the role that makes the biggest difference right now.

Software Architecture

Your system slows down every release, and nobody dares to touch it any more?

I assess, design and accompany architectures so that they fit the business: gradual migration instead of a big bang, clear interfaces instead of sprawl. For me, architecture is not a document but a series of traceable decisions that your team understands and can implement.

Typical tasks

  • Architecture assessment, code review and due diligence as a basis for decisions, for example before buying software
  • Greenfield designs: domain model, interfaces (REST/OpenAPI), data storage, operations
  • Legacy migration and modernisation without downtime
  • Technology selection, operations and security concepts, SaaS and platform architectures

What I deliver

  • Architecture documentation (arc42) with reasoned decisions
  • Assessment report with risks, recommendations and priorities
  • Target picture and migration path in realistic stages
  • Interface specification (OpenAPI) and reference implementation

A good fit if: You are planning a new platform, need to replace a legacy system, or want an independent opinion before a make-or-buy decision.

Result: an architecture that your team understands, can build, and that still holds up in five years.

Technical Project Leadership & Project Rescue

The project is getting out of hand: deadlines slip, the team is frustrated, suppliers point at each other?

I take over the technical lead, sort out scope, risks and responsibilities, and bring structure to the team, without slide marathons. I combine project management with technical understanding: I see when a plan does not hold technically before it gets expensive.

Typical tasks

  • Project takeover, restart and rescue of troubled legacy projects
  • Roadmap, milestones, risk and supplier management
  • Setting up team, development and release processes (Scrum, Kanban, classic, SAFe)
  • Transparent reporting and stakeholder management up to executive level

What I deliver

  • Reliable project plan with milestones, dependencies and risk list
  • Regular status report for management and stakeholders
  • Established team and release processes
  • Handover documentation and lessons learned

A good fit if: Deadlines or budget are wobbling, a project has stalled, or you are looking for someone who understands technology and steering together.

Result: a project with a clear plan, a reliable forecast and a team that delivers again.

Product Ownership & Requirements

Everyone wants something different, and in the end the team builds the wrong thing?

I translate between business and technology, sharpen requirements and prioritise a backlog that creates value instead of piling up features. That includes saying no when something does not fit the product’s goal.

Typical tasks

  • Business analysis, process analysis and requirements management
  • Product vision, backlog and roadmap
  • Data product ownership: building and running data products
  • Advising business units on specialist applications and ERP/SAP integration

What I deliver

  • Product vision, target picture and prioritised roadmap
  • Maintained backlog with clear acceptance criteria
  • Functional concepts, process models (BPMN) and data models
  • Acceptance criteria, developed together with the business unit

A good fit if: Business and development do not understand each other, or a product needs an accountable owner with technical understanding.

Result: a backlog that business and development stand behind equally.

Hands-on Development

The architecture is on paper, but nobody is there to implement it properly?

I write code myself: clean, tested and in a way that others can develop further. From the first line to delivery. This keeps designs realistic and gives me a reliable basis for effort estimates.

Typical tasks

  • Backend, interfaces and database development
  • Browser-based applications and system integration
  • Clean code, TDD, test automation, CI/CD
  • Performance analysis, bug hunting and troubleshooting in existing systems

What I deliver

  • Running, tested software with source code and documentation
  • Automated tests and build/deploy pipeline
  • Database schema with migrations and performance analysis
  • Code reviews and coding guidelines for your team

A good fit if: You need an experienced developer at short notice who takes responsibility, or a legacy system has to be stabilised.

Result: software that runs, stays maintainable and does not slow your developers down.

AI consulting & Automation

You want to use AI, but not give your data away, and you do not know where the real benefit lies?

I have been building AI into everyday work myself since 2022, with my own tools for research, assessment and communication. I pass that knowledge on to you: pragmatic instead of hype, with data protection from the start.

Typical tasks

  • LLM applications, agents and process automation
  • RAG architectures: your documents as a knowledge source, with vector search
  • Integration via MCP, locally operated open-source models
  • Introducing prompt engineering and AI-assisted development in the team

What I deliver

  • Prioritised use cases with an effort/benefit estimate
  • Working prototype, for example document search with RAG
  • Operations and data protection concept, optionally with locally run models
  • Training and guidelines for AI-assisted development in the team

A good fit if: You are looking for a concrete entry into AI that shows benefit in weeks rather than years, and want to keep control of your data.

Result: a concrete use case with visible benefit and an operation you control.

Coaching & Management Consulting

You want to build or strengthen a development team and need a sparring partner for technical strategy?

I advise executives and managers at eye level, support teams day to day and, if needed, build entire development departments: from profiles and recruiting to release and compensation models.

Typical tasks

  • CTO advisory and architecture workshops
  • Team and leadership coaching
  • Building development teams: profiles, recruiting, processes, compensation concepts
  • Interim roles in development management

What I deliver

  • Job profiles as well as selection and onboarding process
  • Established development and release processes
  • Regular sparring sessions with managers
  • Workshops on architecture, technology selection and collaboration

A good fit if: You are building a development department, leadership is changing, or your team needs outside support for difficult decisions.

Result: a team that keeps improving on its own and leadership that decides with confidence.

How we work together

From the first conversation to handover

  1. First conversation

    You describe your project, I ask the right questions. Non-binding and honest.

  2. Assessment

    You receive a clear recommendation with approach, effort and risks.

  3. Implementation

    I work as part of your team, with regular alignment and a transparent status.

  4. Handover

    Documentation, knowledge transfer and a team that carries on without me.

Four ways of working together

Interim role

I take on a key role for a limited time, such as head of development or product owner.

Project work

I reinforce your team as architect, developer or project lead over several months.

Review & workshop

Compact, within a few days: architecture review, due diligence, technology decision.

Coaching

Regular sparring partner for CTOs, managers and teams.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know

Do you work on site or remotely?

Both are possible. We agree on this per project: on site where it adds value, remote where it is enough.

How quickly can you start?

That depends on my current workload. Send me a short description of your project and you will get an honest answer.

How do you handle confidential information?

Confidentiality is a given in the industries I work in. A non-disclosure agreement before the first technical conversation is no problem.

Will you use AI on my data?

Only if you want that. On request, models run locally so that your data does not leave your environment.

Can you also help at short notice with a stalled project?

Yes, project rescue is one of my focus areas. The first step is a short assessment of status, risks and options.

How is billing handled?

We clarify this in the first conversation, depending on the project: typically time and materials, for clearly defined tasks also at a fixed price.

Next step

Which problem should I solve for you?

Three sentences are enough: what is it about, where does it hurt, what should the result be? I will get back to you personally and tell you honestly whether and how I can help.
