„Mit einer Menge Fantasie…“ ist mein Lieblingspruch aus einer Folge Spongebob.
Er und Patrick erleben in einem Pappkarton die tollsten Geschichten und haben Spaß ohne Ende. Thaddäus sitzt nur griesgrämig daneben und kann will es gar nicht wahrhaben – bis er es am Ende auch probiert. 🤩

Mich treibt das an. Ich sehe in Kundenwünschen nicht nur leidige Anforderungen sondern freue mich auf die Herausforderung der Umsetzung. Und manchmal braucht es eben dazu etwas Fantasie zum »Um-die-Ecke« denken.

Seit April '22 ist die Ukulele ein fester Bestandteil meiner Freizeit. Auch meine Arbeitskollegen beglücke ich mit Geburtstagsständchen. 🎶

Als Principal bei der PRODATO unterstütze ich unsere Kunden mit wunderschönen Reports (Jaspersoft), modernen Datenbanktechnologien (Couchbase – auch als Managed Service) und moderner Datenvirtualisierung (Denodo).
Und das große Ganze habe ich natürlich auch im Blick.

Zuvor war ich wissenschaftlicher Assistent am Lehrstuhl für Informatik 6 (Datenmanagement) an der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). Ich promovierte dort zum Thema »Datenqualität für Testdaten — Eine Nutzbarkeitsanalyse für Testdatensammlungen«.
