I architect infrastructure that powers banks. I build teams that deliver.
About Me
I don't just manage infrastructure — I architect it from the ground up. As Head of IT Infrastructure at C24 Bank, I design systems that handle millions of transactions while meeting the strictest regulatory standards in German banking.
I believe in building inhouse expertise over buying managed services. I hire smart engineers, grow them into experts, and give them ownership. The result: a team that truly understands every layer of the stack — from bare-metal to cloud, from network architecture to security operations — and can build and run it themselves.
16+ years in IT. 12 years in Frankfurt's banking elite. From prestigious private banks like Metzler and Hauck & Aufhäuser to building the infrastructure backbone of a modern neobank — I've seen it all and built most of it.
