“In my almost 20-year career in the IT industry, I have gotten to know various companies, held different roles, and helped shape projects. From product development and software service at one of the world’s leading IT service companies, to a major Swiss bank, to small IT consulting firms, I have experienced ups and downs, successes, and failures firsthand as a developer, tester, requirements engineer, solution and release architect.

Of the many projects I have been involved in, many were successful, while others were avoidably derailed by various negative influencing factors. The common denominator of the successful projects was the people who not only absolutely mastered their craft but worked with conviction, passion, and team spirit on a solution for the benefit of the customer.

I am of the opinion that the technical implementation of IT projects should no longer be a risk factor today. For this reason, I decided to found DevCon5 to offer professional IT services in the field of software development to customers individually and independently of monetary misaligned incentives, hidden agendas, and political maneuvers. The quality of my work is central to me, without compromise.”

“My interdisciplinary background combines precision with systemic thinking: My studies in Pharmacy sharpened my eye for diligence, quality, and detail, while my Master’s in Economic Cybernetics deepened my understanding of complex systems, processes, and interconnections. This combination continues to shape my way of working today - analytical, structured, and always with a view of the bigger picture.

I support software solutions throughout the entire process - from the analysis of functional requirements to architecture and implementation, through to intuitive user interfaces. My central focus is on translating technical complexity into clear, well-thought-out, and practical solutions for everyday use.

My expectations for technology are clear: it should relieve people of burdens, simplify processes, and create real value. That is why my work focuses not only on clean technical solutions but also on security, reliability, and a consistent alignment with the needs of users.

My approach to collaboration is based on open communication, mutual understanding, and a shared focus on sustainable solutions. My goal is to provide reliable software solutions that bring technology, security, and user-friendliness into a harmonious balance.”

“I enjoy working at the intersection of software, data, and modern cloud technology. My path into IT began with an apprenticeship as a system engineer and led me via a degree in nanoscience initially to topics such as Data Science and Machine Learning and later to cloud technologies and DevOps. This combination of technology and scientific curiosity characterizes my way of working to this day.

In various projects, I have gained experience in the design and operation of IT systems, in data engineering workflows as well as in the automation of deployments and infrastructure. I am particularly motivated to structure complex technical problems and develop robust, scalable solutions from them.

In my previous roles, I have learned not only to operate systems but to understand, automate, and sustainably improve them. It is exactly this experience that I am now bringing into an environment that focuses on individual software engineering and tailor-made solutions.

What is particularly important to me: quality, clarity, and collaboration. Technology is only valuable if it works reliably and truly supports teams. With this attitude, I work on developing customer-specific solutions that not only work but endure in the long term.”
