IT Consulting & Infrastructure

I completed my B.Sc. in Business Informatics at FH Dortmund in 2026. My bachelor’s thesis on AI-generated video from PDFs covers the generative AI stack from diffusion architectures to the EU AI Act. After three years in deployment automation at Materna IPS and 21 months in the Program Office, I’m looking for my next role in the Ruhr area (open to relocating): IT Consulting, Solution Consulting, or Pre-Sales.

I combine a solid tech background (infrastructure, automation, Python, PowerShell) with business thinking and a genuine interest in matching people with the right software. I only want to sell products I can stand behind: technical conviction matters more than a quick close.

Background

I started in development and infrastructure (PowerShell, Python, deployment automation), but my Business Informatics studies, especially Consultative Selling during a semester at Western Carolina University, shifted my focus toward the human side: understanding pain points, discussing solutions, and making technology work for people.

At Materna IPS I worked on a deployment automation that served more than 600 machines at three airports, installed Windows Server, set up DNS and looked after the virtual machines of the test environment. Later, in the Program Office, I supported international software rollouts in aviation and helped integrate AI-assisted workflows into SharePoint and Azure DevOps. Since May 2026 I’ve been handling IT and digitalisation at a family-run property management company, a planned transition after graduation while I search for a consulting role with real customer contact. There I used AI tools to build a bank statement import, so amounts and dates no longer have to be typed in by hand.

My thesis compares pipeline avatar systems (HeyGen, Synthesia) with end-to-end diffusion models (Veo 3, Sora 2). It looks at technical architecture (VAE, GAN, Transformer, Diffusion), business impact (cost efficiency, the shift from “Creator” to “Reviewer”), and the regulatory landscape (EU AI Act, GDPR, C2PA, Human-in-the-Loop).

What I Bring

Tech fluency meets business thinking.

I can discuss Docker and homelab setups with engineers, then explain trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders. In the Program Office I worked in English with developers, providers and project teams, prepared technical requirements and tracked rollout progress.

Core skills:

• Infrastructure & virtualization: Windows Server, DNS, VMware (Workstation, ESXi), Hyper-V, Proxmox, Docker, TrueNAS, Traefik, Crowdsec
• Automation & scripting: PowerShell, Python, PXE boot, deployment automation
• GenAI & AI transformation: LLMs, prompting, use case development, EU AI Act, C2PA, HeyGen/Veo 3/Sora 2
• Consulting & project work: Agile workflows, stakeholder coordination, requirements analysis

I run a homelab with TrueNAS, Docker stacks, and hardened configurations, not because I have to, but because I like understanding how systems work. That curiosity carries into consulting: demoing, troubleshooting, and building trust with technical buyers.

Beyond Work

In my downtime, you’ll find me:

• Bouldering, climbing, hiking
• Running a homelab
• Building a network in the Ruhr area
