Professional profile

Reliable IT services and applied research.

I have worked in enterprise IT for more than 15 years. I have led service delivery for managed-service clients in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, designed solutions in presales, and taken projects through to stable operation. Alongside my job I build software and publish research on security and database systems.

01 · Positioning

Where operations and research meet

How my service and project work connects to the research.

Delivery and account ownership

I have run enterprise services end to end. That meant SLAs and escalations for a global investment bank, two international telecoms carriers and a large IT services provider. On the presales side I built solution designs and bids for a global car maker, a multinational chemicals group, a German insurer and a European bank, plus infrastructure projects for a European retail group and a global insurance broker.

Whether a solution works shows in day-to-day operation: reliable services, satisfied clients, sound margins and a clean handover. That is where I learned to explain technical decisions so that commercial decision-makers can follow them.

Research and engineering

I also publish peer-reviewed work on cyber risk, systems security and database systems, and I build the systems behind it: a database engine, an XDR platform, an evidence engine for edge telemetry, and a set of shipped iOS and macOS apps.

In research I have to say clearly what my data shows and what it does not. I apply the same standard to technical projects.

  • 01
    Understand the problem first

    Work out which parts are requirements and which are assumptions, before quoting a solution or a price.

  • 02
    Design for how it will be run

    The people on the support rota have to be able to operate it, so their constraints belong in the design.

  • 03
    Write decisions down

    The next engineer, the customer and the auditor all end up reading it. Sprint notes are not enough.

  • 04
    Finish the handover

    A green local build is not a delivery. I check the release that customers actually get.

  • 05
    Say what is not proven

    A prototype, a tested result and a proposal are three different things, and I say which one it is.

02 · Core areas

What I work on

Each area is backed by a role on the experience page or a project in the portfolio.

Delivery

Service delivery & ITSM

ITIL-based service ownership, SLAs and KPIs, service reviews, escalation management, and transition into steady-state operations.

Projects

Project & programme work

PRINCE2 and agile delivery, budget and risk control, stakeholder communication, and coordination across vendors and internal teams.

Systems

Infrastructure & platforms

Rust, C/C++, databases, storage and protocols, third-line support, and release and deployment work with development teams.

Security

Security & assurance

Threat detection, network defence, IAM, digital forensics basics, risk analysis, and reproducible technical evidence.

Commercial

Presales & solution design

Bid architecture, cost and governance models, client presentations, and turning requirements into a clear, commercially viable proposal.

Research

Research engineering

Literature synthesis, experimental design, academic writing, peer review, and explicit limits on what a prototype proves.
