Is your software project stuck?

When architecture, decisions or time pressure block progress, I combine unconventional thinking with decades of project experience — creating clarity and renewed momentum.

Does this sound familiar?

  1. 01Decisions keep getting postponed

  3. 03The deadline is slipping
  4. 04The team is going in circles

Creativity shaped by experience.

My strength is not one particular framework or the latest AI tool. It comes from unconventional thinking, broad project experience and the curiosity to keep building software myself.

IT is not just my experience. It is in my DNA.
  1. 01

    Unusually broad experience

    Projects in global enterprises, mid-sized businesses, SMEs and smaller companies — across countries, industries and very different cultures.

  2. 02

    Recognise patterns, recombine them

    I see connections between situations that appear unrelated and turn them into practical new paths forward.

  3. 03

    Enthusiasm without an expiry date

    I still build my own products, write code and work with AI and agent systems. Experience meets current practice.

What the project needs now

Not another status meeting. An experienced, unconventional perspective that challenges assumptions, reveals hidden options and makes decisions possible again.

  1. 01

    Unconventional Reality Check

    I ask the questions the project has stopped asking, separate symptoms from causes and make the real blockers visible.

  2. 02

    Architecture and Decision Sparring

    We condense the options, clarify trade-offs and make the decisions the team can no longer postpone.

  3. 03

    Rescue Mission

    When time is tight, I work with the team to stabilise the critical paths and move the first decisive steps into delivery.

How the project starts moving again

  1. 01

    Understand

    situation, causes, risks

  2. 02

    Decide

    priorities, architecture, scope

  3. 03

    Stabilise

    critical paths, ownership

  4. 04

    Build

    first steps, verifiable progress

The result is not a consulting deck. It is a clear rescue plan — and the first verifiable steps.

Experience that keeps moving

Four decades in software mean more than accumulated knowledge. They mean more perspectives — across countries, industries, organisations and project situations.

  • International project practice including IBM and PwC, with global assignments, different cultures and distributed teams

  • Every company size global enterprises, mid-sized businesses, SMEs and smaller companies

  • Many industries and project worlds from enterprise architecture to direct product development

  • Current rather than nostalgic own products, AI and agent systems, architecture and code

Experience becomes valuable when it makes new answers possible.
