Master precision mechanic · software since 2010 · IT & DevOps
Profile
My path into IT grew out of practice: I started as an industrial mechanic and in CNC technology, am a master precision mechanic, and spent years programming and setting up machines and running production.
Proximity to the machine turned into software development - first Windows and HMI applications (C++, C# WPF), then embedded and CNC control software (C/C++), process automation, and DevOps. Today I work as an IT administrator and software developer at the intersection of IT, business units, and internal tooling.
This background shapes how I work: I start from the real problem rather than the technology - from the workpiece and operations to software that has to work in everyday use. Analytical, structured, and solution-oriented.
