AI for mid-sized companies that actually works.

I translate between leadership and technology, decide what makes sense and is GDPR-compliant to implement, and build working solutions that fit into your existing systems. Practice over buzzwords.

About me

I help mid-sized companies adopt AI in a practical, GDPR-compliant way. As a Digital Architect, I translate between leadership and technology, decide what makes sense to implement, and build working solutions myself that fit into your existing system landscape. My architecture experience across CRM, integration, and regulated environments ensures AI doesn't end up as another isolated project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most important questions about working together.

I work with regulated financial services firms and growing companies that want to get their digitalization under control – typically 10 to 80 employees, without a dedicated IT team. If your CRM, IT infrastructure, and automations don't talk to each other, I'm the right contact.
We start with a short introductory conversation. This is followed by a structured assessment of your tool landscape and a clear roadmap. If needed, I also support implementation – as a technical sparring partner, not a replacement for your team.
My focus areas include Zoho CRM, Microsoft 365 (administration & compliance), n8n (workflow automation), Shopify, WordPress/WooCommerce, Pimcore (PIM/DAM), and Cloudflare. I'm tool-agnostic – my focus is on the right architecture, not a specific vendor.
Yes, I work primarily remotely and am accustomed to international collaboration. I speak German, English, and French and have experience coordinating across multiple time zones.
That depends on the scope of the project. Drop me a message – in a short conversation we'll figure out if and how I can help.
