Systems Optimizer. AI-First Builder.

I help growing teams put AI-assisted tools into action. From untangling messy workflows to building systems that actually ship.

Bringing scattered tools together, moving systems, designing how work flows. Turning messy operations into systems your team can actually run.

Architecture reviews, system audits, roadmap planning. Making the right decisions before building the wrong thing.

Automation

Process automation and internal tooling. Turning manual work into reliable systems that run without you.

AI-Assisted Development

Rapid prototyping with AI-first tools. Web apps, mobile apps, internal systems: from validation to production-ready.

How I Work

01

Discovery

I listen. Meetings, workflows, pain points. I figure out what's actually going on before proposing solutions.

02

Strategy

I map out what needs to change and why. No fluff, just clarity on the path forward.

03

Build

I prototype fast using AI-first tools. You see working solutions, not slides or wireframes.

04

Handoff

I document everything and make sure your team can run it without me. No lock-in, no dependency.

About

Systems engineer based in Berlin. Started at KPMG, went on to lead operations as Interim CTO.

At Shibari Study, I led their operational transformation: brought scattered tools into one workspace, moved communications and files, and set up workflows that stuck. The result: less chaos, clearer processes, a team ready to grow.

My strength isn't just in building. It's in listening. Teams rarely work the way the org chart says they do. I understand where things actually break, and I can design systems that fit. No over-engineering, no unused features.
