About Thorsten

Companies want to use AI and automation, but often fail:

Pure IT developers do not understand business processes, strategy consultants do not write code.

As a Lead Tech Consultant, I bridge this gap.

I conceptualize and implement agentic workflows and AI systems that eliminate manual processes and unleash efficiency.
Consulting at eye level with real implementation depth.

MY FOCUS: WHAT I BUILD FOR YOU

Workflow Automation:
End-to-end automation of complex business processes via n8n and Make.com.

Enterprise AI Architecture:
Conception and deployment of RAG systems, LLM pipelines, and intelligent agents via Python and FastAPI.

MarTech & Operations:
Scaling marketing, sales, and operations pipelines, such as fully automated lead routing.

THE COMPLIANCE ADVANTAGE

AI projects often fail at the legal department. With my background at TU Darmstadt (Business and Law) and many years of experience in algorithm protection, I combine tech with GDPR and the EU AI Act. Every system is designed to be compliant from day 1 (Compliance by Design).

PROVABLE REAL IMPACT (CASE STUDIES)

Automated Client Intake (Regulated Industries):

Live deployment of intelligent routing systems for law firms and regulated companies. The result is a time saving of over 5 hours per week per client with absolute data security.

Let's stop philosophizing about AI. Let's build systems that give your teams time back
