I am a freelance software architecture trainer and IT consultant, member of the iSAQB Foundation working group and head of the Train-the-Trainer working group. In these roles, I actively contribute to the further development of the Foundation Level curriculum and am the main author and maintainer of the CPSA-F reference training materials for universities and international training providers. Additionally, I regularly conduct train-the-trainer workshops for iSAQB to support the internationalization of iSAQB and the on-boarding of new trainers. These experiences have been incorporated into an iSAQB-compliant textbook, which I co-authored for certification exam preparation.
For more than 20 years, practical and scientific aspects of software and systems engineering have determined my professional career. After studying computer science at the TU Dresden, I worked as a research assistant and doctoral student at the Heinz Nixdorf Endowed Chair for Multimedia Technology. During this time, I worked on numerous research and industrial projects. Later, I joined the Dresden-based intecsoft group as a software architect, developer and technical project manager. Typical projects dealt with electromobility, document and transaction processing and the digitalization of business processes .
Since 2016, I work as a coach and trainer for software architecture for course participants from a wide range of industries, e.g. automotive suppliers, fintech companies, insurance companies, public authorities, telecommunications and IT service providers. In my training courses, I place particular emphasis on imparting practice-oriented knowledge and skills as well as on the professional exchange between the participants about their experiences in the development of complex IT systems. Ultimately, it’s about enabling teams to deliver great software.
