Ich entwickle AI-gestützte Produkte, die komplexe Prozesse vereinfachen, Nutzererlebnisse verbessern und messbaren geschäftlichen Mehrwert schaffen. Mein Fokus liegt auf der Verbindung von Business, User Experience, Design, Technologie und künstlicher Intelligenz, um innovative Produkte von der ersten Idee über Discovery und Strategie bis hin zur Umsetzung erfolgreich zu entwickeln.

Dabei nutze ich moderne KI-Technologien und Tools wie ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor und Figma, um Produktentwicklung, Designprozesse und Arbeitsabläufe effizienter und skalierbarer zu gestalten.
