About Me

I'm a positive person with a creative spirit - solution-oriented, focused on the future and always looking for ways to improve myself and the people I work with, without losing sight of the human element.

I love science and biotechnology - fields where what we believe to know keeps evolving and there is always more to discover. Alongside that, I have a strong interest in IT: automation, structured data, and clean tools that make daily work easier.

My work spans two worlds. Lab work, clinical research and pharmacovigilance on one side. IT consulting, Excel/VBA development and adult education on the other. Both are about turning messy reality into something clear and reliable.

I work as an independent consultant and trainer in Munich, Germany.
