I am an experienced computer scientist with a strong background in the software and systems development business. My proficiency areas lie in the field of business analysis, improvement of software life cycle processes and embedded system engineering, e.g. of intelligent driver assistance systems for the automotive industry.My extensive technical as well as managerial background enables me to operate in direct contact with the people involved at all levels in software driven businesses. I am very adept in capturing and analyzing given business situations and to build suitable business cases to induce improvements. As a strategic thinker it has become my routine to grasp and define visions and to build suitable roadmaps to bring them closer to realization. My employers typically benefit from my passionate drive towards engineering automation by seeing their software related business processes becoming more and more efficient over time.My passion is artificial intelligence, in particular artificial general intelligence, and I have dedicated the last 15 years of my professional life to work out the principles of Autopoietic Intelligent Systems, a kind of software engineering on steroids. What drives me is the strong belief that the notion of a software engineering applied to itself is a very good starting point to develop evolving, self-improving, and highly intelligent systems. That is my vision.
