Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the pragmatic, GDPR-compliant digitalization of business processes.

With over 15 years of experience — from hardware engineer and team leader in industry to the current managing director of my own digitalization GmbH — I develop and operate customized automation solutions.

My focus: n8n workflows, AI-powered processes (Azure OpenAI, EU region), REST APIs, webhooks, and system integration (JSON/XML/CSV) — including error handling, monitoring, and retry logic for continuous productive operation.

I operate my own multi-instance n8n landscape with over 200 productive workflows on my own infrastructure (Hetzner/DE, Coolify, Docker, PostgreSQL, Supabase) — automation is not a side topic for me, but my daily business.

What you get from me: clean, maintainable workflows, honest assessments instead of buzzwords, and consistent GDPR compliance (hosting in Germany, EU region for AI services).

I work hands-on, solution-oriented, and directly with decision-makers, without buzzwords, providing real added value.

Founder and technical lead of a GmbH for GDPR-compliant digitalization of trades and SMEs. I conceptualize, build, and operate automation solutions end-to-end:

• Integration of external systems via REST APIs, webhooks, and HMAC-signed interfaces (including accounting bridge to Lexware, ZUGFeRD/DATANORM processing).
• AI-powered workflows (Azure OpenAI / EU region): Document OCR, email classification, AI phone assistants, automated outreach pipelines.
• Web apps (React/TypeScript) as a lean user interface for n8n workflows.
• Consistently GDPR-compliant: Hosting in Germany, EU region for AI services, tenant separation via row-level security.
