About Marco

I combine an entrepreneurial mindset with hands-on expertise in AI, SaaS, and workflow automation. As a former SaaS founder, I know what it takes to move from idea to execution—building products, winning customers, and scaling systems that last.

Today, I work with companies and entrepreneurs to design and implement AI-driven solutions that go beyond prototypes.

My focus areas include:
  • GPT-based chatbots and Micro-SaaS apps with RAG architecture (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) Workflow automation using n8n, Zapier, and Notion integrations for scalable efficiency
  • GDPR-compliant AI systems hosted in the EU
  • Pickaxe-based platforms with paywalls, subscriptions, and community features for digital business models.
What makes me different is the way I bridge business strategy and technical execution: I don’t just deliver code, I create systems that fit into your business model and support sustainable growth. With experience in cloud, DevOps, and SaaS development, plus a track record of building and exiting startups, I understand the bigger picture as well as the technical details.

I’ve supported:
  • Professionals who want to establish a serious side business through automation and digital products
  • Entrepreneurs digitizing or scaling their offers with AI-driven tools
  • Companies leveraging AI for service automation, customer engagement, and lead generation
👉 If you’re looking for a freelancer who combines startup experience, business consulting, and deep technical knowledge in AI and automation, let’s scale together.

    DIGITAL AND IT
    January 2017 - Today (9 years and 5 months)
    Frankfurt am Main, Germany
    I have extensive experience in the digitalization of business processes with a focus on the infrastructure, pharmaceutical, and energy sectors. Over the course of my career, I have successfully managed and delivered more than 250 projects, ranging from complex enterprise integrations to the implementation of scalable SaaS solutions.

    My work emphasizes bridging technology and business strategy. This includes the design and rollout of SaaS platforms and CDE (Common Data Environment) systems, enabling organizations to streamline workflows, improve collaboration, and ensure compliance in highly regulated industries. Through detailed process analysis, I have been able to identify inefficiencies, define automation opportunities, and translate them into measurable improvements in performance and cost savings.

    In addition to my technical and strategic contributions, I place strong emphasis on customer development and stakeholder management. Building long-term client relationships and aligning solutions with business goals has been central to my approach. I have worked closely with cross-functional teams—spanning IT, operations, and management—to ensure smooth project execution and knowledge transfer.

    Today, I leverage this foundation to support companies and entrepreneurs in developing and scaling AI-driven SaaS products, chatbots, and automation workflows. My goal is to combine a deep understanding of digital processes with practical business insight, helping clients accelerate digital transformation and establish sustainable competitive advantages

    January 2019 - December 2023 (5 years)
    Mainz, Germany
    I am a founder and strategist with hands-on experience in building SaaS companies in the cloud and DevOps space. I co-created and scaled two products – AdaptiveCloud and SocialCloud – from idea to market within a few months.

    My responsibilities covered the full spectrum of company building:

    Strategy & Go-to-Market (GTM): Designed and executed a lean GTM strategy, achieving market entry in just 5 months.

    Business Development & Acquisition: Identified and converted early customers through a mix of outbound and inbound channels.

    Product Management: Defined the roadmap, coordinated agile development cycles, and ensured a tight feedback loop with clients.

    Team Coordination: Built and led a cross-functional team covering development, operations, and marketing.

    Within less than a year, the venture reached 10K MRR, followed by a successful exit.

    This experience shaped my current focus: helping companies and entrepreneurs leverage AI, SaaS, and chatbots to design scalable digital products and business models. My expertise bridges business strategy and technical execution, enabling me to support projects from concept validation through automation and integration to market launch.
    If you are looking for someone who combines entrepreneurial mindset, SaaS know-how, and strategic consulting skills, I can help you accelerate your roadmap and avoid common pitfalls of early-stage scaling.

  • Fraport AG
    Project Manager
    CIVIL ENGINEERING
    January 2010 - January 2017 (7 years)
    Frankfurt am Main, Germany
    I began my career in civil and construction engineering, managing both new-build and renovation projects in highly complex environments such Frankfurt international airport.

    My responsibilities included overseeing projects at Terminal 3 and Cargo City South, where I was accountable for project leadership, budget and schedule planning, and stakeholder management across multiple disciplines.

    Working in these large-scale infrastructure projects required a strong ability to balance technical precision, regulatory compliance, and operational continuity. I coordinated between architects, contractors, airport authorities, and technical service providers to ensure projects were delivered on time and within budget, while meeting strict safety and quality standards.

    Alongside classical civil engineering tasks, I developed a strong interest in smart home and building technologies, integrating modern automation systems into construction projects. This focus allowed me to combine my engineering background with emerging digital solutions, giving me early insight into the convergence of construction, IoT, and process automation.

    The experience shaped my approach to managing complex projects: aligning technical innovation with practical execution, ensuring that new technologies provide real value to stakeholders. It also laid the foundation for my later work in process digitalization, SaaS solutions, and AI-driven systems, where the same principles of efficiency, scalability, and user impact continue to guide my work
