My Track Record
Over nearly 30 years, I’ve been building exactly these bridges between business, processes, and data:
- At A1 Telekom Austria, I designed and implemented the Enterprise Information Architecture, later leading the development of the central Big Data Platform and Data Lake.
- I created frameworks for data ingestion, integration, and governance, replacing legacy systems with modern, scalable architectures.
- I’ve worked on data modeling, data warehouses, and BI systems that supported planning, reporting, and decision-making across the company.
- Today, I’m expanding my expertise into Machine Learning, Generative AI, and platforms like Databricks and Azure, making sure my architectural work fully enables next-generation AI solutions.
My passion has always been the same: turning data into clarity and business value.
