ABOUT ME



Hi! I'm Sebastian.

I am currently employed as a Solution Architect at Mendix (acquired by Siemens) and I am open to talking about professional challenges in IT and business development. Through my Ph.D. studies, I have developed a strong analytical skill set and expertise in various areas, including teaching at the university level, machine learning, statistical surveys, multi-agent simulation, databases, and agile software development using Java, Python, and JavaScript. Additionally, I have experience in design-oriented research, conceptual software architecture and modeling, and business process management. Through my former work as a self-employed software engineer and IT consultant, I have also established and maintained a broad network of researchers and clients. My work as a Solution Architect enables me to combine my consulting skills with deep technical expertise in the low-code sphere. Thereby, customer success and a strong, sustainable relations are key.

I'm truly passionate about innovative IT. I put heart and soul into devising solutions for societal challenges, all while striving for the vision of a sustainable and brighter future.

For instance, I participated in the German government's "We vs Virus" hackathon where I played a vital role as an idea contributor and project manager, leading a team in developing an app to track infection chains during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ideas developed by my team and I in several projects have been recognized with a number of awards, such as the Winner of the Scidea Idea Contest 2016 for "the concept of digital sales receipt," and Second place at the Hugo Junkers Award in the category “most innovative alliance” 2017 for "a coordination system for spontaneous volunteers in natural disasters."
