I rescue legacy .NET systems in manufacturing companies before they become business risks.
For 13+ years, I've specialized in making complex systems reliable again β stabilizing releases, modernizing architectures, and preparing production environments for Industry 4.0.
Legacy System Stabilization
- Transform unstable .NET systems into reliable production environments
- 60% reduction in production incidents (OPTANO case)
- 64% reduction in critical bugs through systematic refactoring
Industry 4.0 Integration
- OPC UA and Asset Administration Shell (AAS) implementation
- I worked at AASX Server
- Fraunhofer IOSB-INA research experience in digital twins
- Creator of FluentAAS β Open-source C# library for AAS creation
Release Excellence
- CI/CD pipeline modernization (40% faster builds)
- Test automation (46% β 87% coverage)
- From quarterly to bi-weekly releases without downtime
Cross-Platform App β Stabilized mobile app serving 300,000+ users
- 60% crash reduction within 3 months
- Enhanced release quality for enterprise-scale consumer application
B2B Optimization Platform β Improved analytics platform releases
- Sprint delivery reliability: 70% β 95%
- Cut deployment time by 40%
- Accelerated release cycles from quarterly to bi-weekly
I don't just consult β I commit code on day one and leave teams empowered to continue independently.
My work focuses on:
- Hands-on technical delivery, not PowerPoint presentations
- Measurable results over buzzwords
- Team enablement over dependency creation
- Pragmatic solutions over architectural dogma
Core Stack: C# / .NET 6-9, ASP.NET Core, Docker, Microservices
CI/CD: TeamCity, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps
Industry 4.0: Asset Administration Shell (AAS), Digital Twins, OPC UA
Methodologies: Test-Driven Development, Refactoring, Continuous Delivery
Based in Lemgo, Germany (Ostwestfalen-Lippe region), with deep roots in the local manufacturing ecosystem. Previously worked at Miele, OPTANO, and Fraunhofer IOSB-INA.
If you're dealing with a legacy .NET system that's become a bottleneck, or need to integrate Industry 4.0 standards into existing production environments, let's talk.
I work with mid-sized manufacturing companies (50-500 employees) in the DACH region who need immediate technical expertise combined with long-term team development.
