ABOUT ME
Helping you to make your data shine, with 25+ years of experience
Helping you to make your data shine, with 25+ years of experience

Writing my first lines of code, when I was still a teenage, laid the foundation of my passion for crafting software.

People I work with know me as a person who adapts cutting-edge technologies pretty fast and use those to craft better software. For example, several years ago, a project which had the goal to introduce a web-based solution to remove a manual process, was not accepted by the customer due to reloading the complete webpages while retrieving updated data. I used a predecessor of the technology later known as AJAX - called XML Data Islands - to refresh only parts of the webpages. This helped our team to deliver a product with an exceptional user experience, which led to a great customer relationship.

My focus over the last couple of years is on Cloud Computing technologies in general and the Microsoft Azure Cloud Platform, and since 2021 GCP, in particular.
Due my long experience with Microsoft SQL Server (since SQL Server 7.0) and its Business Intelligence capabilities (since SQL Server 2000), my second focus is on Big Data / Complex Data processing by using technologies like Hadoop / HDInsight, HBase, Hive and R, as well as Data Science.

I love making a difference by sharing my knowledge and help people write better software.
I'm a regular speaker at user groups and international conferences, as well as author of several technical articles.

With my move to Microsoft, I also began to have more frequent contact with machine learning topics. First simple models with scikit-learn, Pandas and Matplotlib, later more and more deep learning projects with PyTorch and TensorFlow. Nowadays, of course, more and more GenAI projects.

My first contact with Microsoft SQL Server was a version 6.5 to 7.0 migration project. Since this project, SQL Server (incl. SSIS, SSAS and SSRS) has been part of my daily work for many years. With the 2014 version, however, more and more big data and machine learning projects were added, which shifted my focus to other SQL-based systems.
