Over a decade of delivering Microsoft platform transformations, M&A separations, tenant migrations, and identity modernisation across Financial Services (Banking & Insurance), Automotive, Consumer Goods and Media in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.

• 🤵 Senior Manager at Avanade (a joint venture of Accenture and Microsoft)
• 🔍 Scoped Day 1 readiness for carve-outs spanning 35,000+ users
• 🛡️ Designed architecture under regulatory constraint — FINMA, DORA, TISAX
• ⏱️ Compressed a strategic carve-out timeline by 30% by resolving separation and identity risk at the architecture stage rather than in delivery
• 💶 Own solution architecture and commercials for Microsoft consulting and system-integration deals
• 🏗 Built a fully custom IdM solution for a large Enterprise environment for a special carve-out scenario

My involvement with Open Source Software (OSS) started in 2007: I quickly became part of the German Ubuntu community and I authored and maintained technical documentation for the wiki in German and English, covering installation guides, hardware compatibility and system administration topics.

The pinned repositories are personal projects, built the way I shape client delivery: modern engineering practice paired with agentic AI coding. I build each with Coding Agent (Claude Code, Github Copilot) against a repo-level AGENTS.md that pins the architecture, toolchain, lint and commit conventions up front, so the AI works inside the guardrails rather than around them.

• 🦀 m3u-viewer — a fast Rust terminal viewer for large IPTV playlists, with Xtream and XMLTV/EPG support.
• 📊 key-indicators-dashboard — a Streamlit macro, volatility, and sentiment dashboard with minimal overhead
• 🧾 ibkr-etaxstatement — converts Interactive Brokers exports into a standards-compliant Swiss eCH-0196 tax statement.

Same instinct as the day job: let the architecture and the guardrails carry the quality, so the tooling accelerates delivery instead of eroding it.
