As a Staff Software Engineer / Software Architect for a global agile delivery organization that develops medical-grade software. I collaborate with stakeholders, business management, and multiple scrum teams to ensure the technical plasticity and quality of our cloud, web, and mobile solutions that serve the needs of hearing care professionals and patients.

With over 10 years of experience in engineering, I have a deep passion for research and development in computer science and software engineering. I hold a Computer Science Expert degree from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry for Upper Franconia, Bayreuth. I have worked on various projects ranging from industrial manufacturing, e-mobility, IoT, to machine learning. I proactively support and empower my colleagues and constantly seek to learn new skills and technologies to adapt to the ever-changing markets.

At the research company Pleodat, we are building the information management system of the future, called Cortex, which is based on principles of how the human brain handles information. While doing so, we build on the intellectual property of Cortex AG initially founded by Peter Palm.

In our vision Cortex will be a universal data storage that eliminates data silos, can store diverse data, combines operational with analytical data, and integrates streaming data. The knowledge contained in the data would become effortlessly accessible to everyone authorized. Cortex can so also support agile processes and simplify IT while reducing energy consumption.

As a principal software engineer, my mission is to consult and hands-on support colleagues from engineering and management while also being a collaborator for partners, so that we can succeed in our vision to establish a new era of data storage.

As Staff Software Engineer, I fulfil the role of Software Architect for an agile delivery organization, which is home to 7 scrum teams who develop medical grade software. We are an international and multicultural area of expertise for research and development regarding our patient-facing mobile, web and cloud software.

As a technical leader, my mission is to empathically and actively foster technical plasticity of a system so that we can adapt to new and everchanging business requirements. To succeed with this task, collaboration with stakeholders and business management is as essential as directly supporting our development teams.

The system scope covers state-of-the-art cloud technology and mobile applications which are serving the needs of Hearing Care Professionals and Patients. Maintaining high quality while complying with regulations is critical for our successful medical products.

As a software engineer in our R&D department in Erlangen, I worked in an international team tasked with creating and operating in- house medical grade software.

My team was part of a scaled agile release train following SAFe. Our core business was to develop and maintain high-quality state-of- the-art cloud systems, along with mobile applications, that serve the needs of Hearing Care Professionals and Patients. During our work, we always had extra dedication to quality as we worked in the medical sector.

As a software engineer, I was embodying the role of a software developer. Alongside international collogues, I was part of various agile project teams. Many of them are in a scaled agile framework.

We were developing state-of-the-art cloud-based custom software solutions for customers of many domains. The projects covered topics ranging from industrial manufacturing processes, E- Mobility, IoT up to Machine Learning.

Preceded by a short period as a solution specialist, I started my professional carrier with an apprenticeship to become an Expert in Computer Science in Software Development. In 2017 I graduated as such and continued work as a full-stack software developer.

During my years at this international company, I custom-engineered software solutions for industrial automation, process and data visualization and big data. Projects took me to customers all over Germany and the neighbouring countries, where I provided value through hands-on expertise and technical consulting in local and international teams. The various projects covered industrial manufacturing/operations, automotive, consumer goods, food & beverage and machine construction.
