Bridging the Gap Between Data & Decision

With over 7 years of experience in the data landscape, I specialize in designing, building, and maintaining high-performance data systems. Living and working in Berlin, I thrive on tackling complex architectural challenges.

Whether it's optimizing ETL pipelines (ODI), managing massive-scale streaming data (Kafka, Spark), or implementing cloud-native data warehouses (BigQuery), I focus on creating reliable infrastructure that empowers business intelligence.
