- Thorben Vogt, M.Sc.Solution Architect | Process Automation & System IntegrationDIGITAL AND ITMarch 2026 - Today (5 months)Hankensbüttel, NI, Germany
Task
Independent activity as a Solution Architect focusing on increasing efficiency in companies through structured process analysis, IT architecture, and technical implementation.Focus Areas
- Requirements analysis and documentation of existing processes and system landscapes: Where is capacity lost, where do systems work past each other?
- Development of a concept based on the diagnosis
- Implementation through AI automation, process automation, and system integration
- Workflow optimization along the entire process chain
- Central point of contact from the initial analysis to the running system
Approach
Diagnosis before solution. I first examine the process, develop a concept, and then implement it. In that order, never the other way around. The end result is a system that works, not a concept that stays on the shelf. - Volkswagen AGProject Engineer / Staff Unit ADAS InternationalAUTOMOBILESeptember 2024 - February 2026 (1 year and 5 months)Wolfsburg, NI, Germany
