Profile

Customer-facing engineer combining technical depth, sales and AI automation

Bilingual German-English engineer with a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechatronics and Robotics and almost three years of on-site software delivery within the Airbus A400M programme, working directly with engineering stakeholders from requirements through the independent design, delivery and support of production-used platforms. Currently combines that engineering foundation with international B2B sales and technical consultation: researching and approaching customers, running discovery conversations, delivering live product demonstrations, preparing proposals and technical materials, and following through to close. Also designs and operates practical AI-supported commercial workflows, including a live multi-agent system built on Claude. The result is a combination of technical credibility, customer fluency and applied AI experience, delivered at native level in both German and English.

Sole architect of a React/Python/SQL platform used daily by 40+ Airbus engineers.

Represented KC at international trade fairs including ISPO Munich and Première Vision Paris, running live product demonstrations for buyers and technical specialists.

Built and operates a live multi-agent AI sales system, integrated with CRM and email workflows, running daily across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Bachelor of Engineering (Hons), Mechatronics & Robotics, University of Sheffield, Class 2:1.
