profil

As a graduate mechatronics engineer (MSc) and experienced software engineer, I have been combining precise algorithms with industrial hardware for over 15 years. My career path has taken me from maintaining international production lines to embedded software development at Bosch AG, and ultimately to leading technical teams.

Today, I specialize in software development for prototypes and special-purpose machinery, where I implement complex control and calculation logic (C/C++, Codesys, MATLAB). My portfolio ranges from camera-based document identification to measurement and evaluation algorithms in the rail transport sector. As a certified Requirements Engineer (CPRE), I provide professional support to my clients from the initial requirements analysis through to series production. I stand for a pragmatic, goal-oriented approach and technical solutions that meet the highest quality standards ((A)-SPICE).

Qualifications

Low-level / Embedded Programming (Bosch AG): Development of user software (C/C++) for microcontrollers in the automotive embedded domain (11 years of experience). Experience with runtime analysis, multicore migration, software quality processes, and ASPICE audits.

Industrial & Automation (SK-Systems & KernData): Development of PC desktop software for automated document tracking via barcode, camera, or OCR readers. Development of actuator controls in Codesys Soft-PLC systems.

Industrial & Custom Measurement Software (Strabag & SK Systems): Development of software for automated localization (including least squares adjustment) based on measurements taken with a theodolite.

Android Apps: Logbook app with all data stored locally on the phone without a cloud subscription Get it on Google Play
