Enterprise transformations through executable architecture.

CV · LinkedIn · 📍 Zurich, Switzerland

Over a decade delivering Microsoft platform transformations, M&A separations, tenant migrations, and identity modernisation across Automotive, Consumer Goods, Media, and Financial Services in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.

I started in the engine room, not in a classroom — and that foundation shows in how I assess and shape solutions today: architecture decisions grounded in what actually works at scale.

• 🤵 Senior Manager at Avanade (a joint venture of Accenture and Microsoft)
• 🔍 Scoped Day 1 readiness for carve-outs spanning 35,000+ users
• 🛡️ Designed architecture under regulatory constraint — FINMA, DORA, TISAX
• ⏱️ Compressed a strategic carve-out timeline by 30% by resolving separation and identity risk at the architecture stage rather than in delivery
• 💶 Own solution architecture and commercials for Microsoft consulting and system-integration deals
• 🏗️ Built a fully custom IdM solution for a large Enterprise environment for a special carve-out scenario

The pinned repositories are personal projects, built the way I shape client delivery: modern engineering practice paired with agentic AI coding. I build each with Claude Code against a repo-level CLAUDE.md that pins the toolchain, lint, and commit conventions up front — so the AI works inside the guardrails rather than around them.

• 🦀 m3u-viewer — a fast Rust terminal viewer for large IPTV playlists, with Xtream and XMLTV/EPG support.
• 📊 key-indicators-dashboard — a Streamlit macro, volatility, and sentiment dashboard with minimal overhead
• 🧾 ibkr-etaxstatement — converts Interactive Brokers exports into a standards-compliant Swiss eCH-0196 tax statement.

Same instinct as the day job: let the architecture and the guardrails carry the quality, so the tooling accelerates delivery instead of eroding it.
