About me

I test.
I automate.
I deliver.

With over 10 years in software quality at Deutsche Telekom, Axxessio GmbH, and KSB, I've built test automation frameworks, led a QA team, and defined test strategies for mobile apps, voice assistants, backend services, and industrial IoT platforms.

I believe quality isn't a phase, it's a mindset: clear processes, repeatable verification, and evidence you can trust. I bring that to every sprint, every pipeline, and every team I work with. Currently based in Darmstadt.
