THINK POSITIVE AND KEEP FOCUSED
I have been working on media and IT projects for more than 20 years. At the beginning of my career, I worked as a freelancer for various multimedia agencies. Then in 1997 I started my own business with my media agency Starconcept. Here we implement projects for a wide variety of customers, not all of which were directly related to the Internet. Projects carried out included websites, printed documents, books, annual reports and multimedia presentations.
In 2004 I founded the Emporis real estate database and built the company into a market leader in its niche area. At that time, I was particularly responsible for product management and the programming of websites and databases. KfW Bankengruppe and VC investor Neuhaus Partners invested in 2007. As managing director, I was responsible for numerous technical and contractual issues. In my role as IT manager and innovation officer, I developed and programmed various web solutions. I sold my shares in 2010 and left the company as part of the exit. Today Emporis belongs to a group that is listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
In 2011 I started working for a company in the Burda Digital group as an IT expert and a link between management and marketing. I was responsible for the programming of numerous e-commerce shops, including shops from REWE and Lidl. During this time I built up extensive knowledge in the areas of front-end programming, conversion optimization and analytics.
When a digital expert was finally sought at Policen Direkt, I switched to insurance in 2016. There I built up a digital insurance manager with colleagues, implemented several website launches and relaunches, and coordinated various IT projects. Among other things, this includes setting up extensive AWS infrastructure since 2018. Since 2019 I have also been involved in the development of know-how in the areas of Angular, .NET Core and Entity Framework. Organizing, designing and communicating are also my personal strengths here.

Based on my experiences, I can explain also complicated issues in an easy way.

FIELDS OF RESEARCH

My personal activities in the area of data management and distributed ledgers are not primarily relevant for my daily work.
I have been working intensively on crypto currencies since 2014 and have also invested in Bitcoin, Ethereum and Altcoins. I even had my own miners and a Bitcoin full node in operation from 2015.
I am currently working on the design of a system for the automated acquisition, evaluation and management of structured information using AI/ML technologies.
