Hi, I'm Jan

I studied computer science at TU Dresden and researched scalable software architecture for cyber-physical systems. Afterwards, I co-founded Wandelbots — a VC-funded robotics automation startup — where I served as CTO for five years, growing the team from 5 to over 200 people. I shaped the product vision, technology strategy, software architecture, and organisational structure across the entire journey from early prototype to enterprise-grade platform.


That breadth of experience — from hands-on engineering to board-level strategy — is what I bring as an independent consultant. Whether you need a sparring partner for technology decisions, an expert to assess your architecture, or leadership to guide your engineering organisation through a transition, I can help.
