Started with a soldering iron.
Never really stopped.
I grew up building radios, antennas, and circuits. CB radio as a teenager, then amateur radio — shortwave, mediumwave, UHF, VHF. Decoding RTTY weather fax data from shortwave transmissions. Building antennas from scratch.
Then the internet arrived, and I was hooked. At 24, I founded mp3.de — Europe's largest music portal at its peak. Millions of users, seven-figure revenue, exit in 2002. After that, consulting for enterprises led me to Deutsche Postbank / Deutsche Bank, where I spent a decade building online banking platforms for millions of daily users.
Today I run workingbits, building SaaS products, ERP systems, and AI-driven development workflows. I work with autonomous AI agent teams that write, test, and review code in parallel — turning what used to take sprints into hours.
The best products are built by people who understand the full picture — not just the code, but the hardware it runs on, the business it serves, and the users who depend on it.
The thread that connects it all: I build things that work in the real world. Whether it's firmware on a microcontroller, a cloud backend handling thousands of IoT devices, or a mobile app — I care about the full stack, from the solder joint to the user interface.
