Profile Summary

I help companies use the Microsoft Power Platform to move measurably faster from idea to production – pragmatic, structured, and close to real business processes. My background combines business administration and IT project work (freelance since 2010) with project and test management.
Since July 2018, I have also been working as a project manager at GSD mbH. In the past, I co-developed the web-to-print platform myTriPic.

My approach: making complex tasks easy to use – with a clean data model, iterative methods, and reliable operations.
