I combine a solid tech background (Python, cloud infrastructure, DevOps) with business acumen and a genuine passion for solving problems with the right software. I don't just want to sell - I want to help businesses with solutions I'd use myself.

I combine a solid tech background (Python, cloud infrastructure, DevOps) with business acumen and a genuine passion for solving problems with the right software. I only want to sell products I genuinely believe in — technical conviction is the best sales tool, and I'm not interested in the alternative.

I started as a developer and infrastructure guy (PowerShell, Python, networking), but my Business Informatics studies, especially modules like Consultative Selling during my semester abroad, sparked something bigger. I realized I love the human side: understanding pain points, discussing solutions, and making technology work for people, not just systems.

At SITA's Program Office, I've coordinated software rollouts (payment solution migrations across airports), set up tools (SharePoint, Kimai), and moderated workshops between business, IT, and data teams. Honestly? I'm ready for more action. I want to be where solutions meet customers—advising, demoing, closing deals.

My bachelor's thesis dives into `AI-powered video generation from PDFs`, exploring generative AI, multimodal models, avatar synthesis, and ethical implications (deepfakes, consent, authenticity). It's a deep dive into how AI transforms content creation, and the responsibilities that come with it.

I can talk Docker and Proxmox with engineers, then turn around and explain ROI to a CFO. I've managed stakeholder workshops in aviation (not exactly a forgiving industry), translated technical requirements into user stories, and kept multi-team rollouts on track.

I run my own homelab with TrueNAS, Docker stacks, and hardened configurations. Not because I have to, but because I *like* solving problems and understanding how systems work. That curiosity translates directly into presales: I can demo, troubleshoot, and build trust with technical buyers.
