Computer science studiesAbout me
Senior ALM Specialist bridging Engineering & IT. I combine 25+ years in Requirements Management with hands-on IT Operations (Hosting/VMware). As a ReqIF expert (REQTEAM co-founder), I specialize in complex data exchange & migration. I ensure your tools are not just defined, but operational.

With over 25 years of experience in Requirements Management and Engineering IT, I offer a rare combination of deep methodological expertise and hands-on IT operations skills. I don’t just consult on processes; I build, host, and maintain the infrastructure that makes them run.
Unlike many consultants who only know the "user side" of tools, I bring over 10 years of hard IT infrastructure experience (VMware/Proxmox). I speak the language of your IT department and translate it for your engineering teams to ensure compatibility, performance, and compliance.
My Core Value Proposition:
Technical Depth: I operate my own server racks and host mission-critical environments. I know what happens "under the hood" of your ALM tools.
ReqIF Authority: As co-founder of REQTEAM GmbH, I possess code-level understanding of the ReqIF standard. I solve complex data exchange challenges where standard tools fail.
Migration Expertise: I specialize in moving data safely from legacy systems (like IBM DOORS) to modern platforms, ensuring data integrity and traceability.Detailed Service Portfolio:
