Software that
works.

Specialist in

As a business software specialist, I bring clarity to systems that have grown over years, find the bugs others give up on and build new software – with more than two decades of experience and the latest AI tools.

01 — Services

From the first look at the code
to the finished system.

I deliver every project in German and English – from analysis, code and documentation to training your team.

DEEN Projects in German and English

Software analysis and further development

Legacy systems, unfamiliar code, missing documentation? I give you clarity on architecture, data flows, risks and technical debt – and develop your existing software further without putting day-to-day operations at risk.

  • Code & architecture reviews
  • Performance and weak-spot analysis
  • Extension & modernisation of existing systems
  • Documentation of existing systems

Debugging

Sporadic crashes, wrong results, systems that suddenly slow down: I find the root cause – systematically, reproducibly and with a lasting fix instead of treating symptoms.

  • Root cause analysis
  • Debugging complex failures
  • Emergency support

Software development

When a fresh start is the better choice: I design and build your software from the ground up – cleanly structured, maintainable, tested and tailored to your processes.

  • Concept & architecture
  • Replacing legacy systems
  • Data migration

02 — Industries

Experience across
seven industries.

Every industry has its own processes, rules and requirements. I have already worked in these industries – and that knowledge goes into every project.

  • Services sector
  • Television
  • Lottery
  • Public sector
  • Automotive
  • Banking

03 — Oracle

Oracle Databases

The database is the heart of your application. I know Oracle from more than two decades of hands-on work – from PL/SQL logic and data modelling to tuning queries that take minutes instead of milliseconds.

  • SQL & PL/SQL
  • Performance tuning
  • Execution plans
  • Data modelling
  • Migration & upgrades
  • Interfaces

04 — Artificial intelligence

AI accelerates.
Experience decides.

I use AI agents and assistants such as Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Microsoft Copilot and Devin productively every day. The result: analysis and development in a fraction of the time – reviewed and owned by a developer who knows what matters.

Understand faster

AI-assisted code analysis makes sense of even large, undocumented codebases in a short time.

Deliver faster

Agents such as Claude Code and Devin take over routine work – I focus on architecture and quality.

Used responsibly

Every line is reviewed. AI is a tool, not a substitute for responsibility and expertise.

AI for your team

Whether ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot or Claude: I help you introduce AI tools to your company in a meaningful way.

05 — AI consulting & training

AI is changing your business.
Starting with your processes.

I support small and mid-sized companies from the first use case to productive operation – with honest advice and hands-on training that brings your people along.

Data protection from day one: GDPR, data processing agreements and the EU AI Act

Productivity

  • Time saved on routine tasks
  • Shorter lead times
  • Fewer errors
  • Growth without proportionally more staff
  • Better basis for decisions

Processes

  • Make workflows visible
  • Connect systems via interfaces
  • Consistent standards
  • Keep knowledge in the company

Where AI makes a concrete difference

Knowledge work & documents

Create, summarise and search contracts, quotes, reports and emails faster – and make knowledge accessible through internal assistants.

Customer communication

Pre-sort enquiries, prepare standard replies, handle tickets faster – your team takes care of the complex cases.

Sales & quotes

Quotes from text blocks and CRM data – in minutes instead of hours.

Production & quality

Image analysis spots defects on the line, sensor data predicts maintenance needs (predictive maintenance).

Accounting & administration

Capture invoices and receipts automatically, assign them and submit them for review.

Software development & IT

Write, test and document code – including customisations of specialist software.

Skills shortage

Recurring tasks are taken over – qualified staff can focus on value-adding work.

Your process?

Let's find out together where AI brings you the most value.

Consulting & training

AI fundamentals training

What AI can do – and what it can't. Safe, responsible use of AI tools in everyday work.

Use case workshop

Together we identify the processes where AI delivers the most value for reasonable effort.

Pilot support

From concept to a measurable pilot project – including integration into your existing software.

Training for teams

Hands-on training in German or English, tailored to business departments, IT and development – e.g. with ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Claude & co.

Getting started in six steps

  1. 01

    Current-state analysis

    Which processes take a lot of time, are repetitive and have clear outcomes?

  2. 02

    Use cases

    Prioritise two or three use cases with a good benefit-to-effort ratio.

  3. 03

    Pilot project

    Start small and measure time, error rate and cost.

  4. 04

    Data protection

    Consider GDPR, data processing agreements and the EU AI Act from the start.

  5. 05

    Training

    Involve staff early, take concerns seriously, build skills.

  6. 06

    Scaling

    Move successful pilots into regular operation.

To be honest: AI has limits.

Good consulting names them – and makes sure they don't harm your business.

Hallucinations
AI can make plausible-sounding mistakes. Results are reviewed – a human makes the decision.
Data protection & trade secrets
Clear rules on which data goes where. Local or EU-hosted solutions are often the right choice.
Data quality
Poor master data leads to poor results – so the data foundation needs to be reviewed.
Costs & benefits
Clear goals and metrics from the start, so the benefit is proven.
Acceptance
Without the workforce, every rollout fails. Training and involvement are part of the project.
