From spreadsheets, scripts and apps to engineering software · Manufacturing & Automotive

Individual tools become a platform.The platform unlocks AI-ready product development.

Your engineers have long been building their own software, more and more often with AI. I build the platform where these tools run reliably, connect to your systems and are available to everyone.

Powerful tools that no one but their author can use or develop further.

Design calculators, analysis scripts, configurators: every R&D department builds its own solutions, and with AI faster than ever. Yet most of them end up in a spreadsheet or on a single computer.

Patchwork instead of software.

Part of it runs in Power Automate, part of it as a Python script on a laptop, and results land as files in SharePoint. There is no shared codebase and no defined development process. Only one person knows how it all fits together, and no one else can contribute.

Failures no one notices.

Processes exchange data through file shares and manual handoffs instead of clean interfaces. That doesn't scale, doesn't produce a reliable data foundation and can't be monitored. When something goes wrong, no one notices.

AI with nothing to connect to.

AI agents run processes through interfaces: they call calculations, query data and trigger the next steps. Where these interfaces are missing, AI stays a demo and the AI budget has no impact.

Software first, then automation.

We turn your tools into real engineering software: web apps and services with clear interfaces and a shared data foundation. The platform underneath takes care of everything related to deployment and operations. Individual tools become an end-to-end process chain that AI agents can plug into.

The platform as foundation.

A standardized path from code to production: templates, automated deployment, sign-in, access control and monitoring. Your engineers no longer have to figure out how to set any of it up, and every new tool goes live faster.

Tools become software.

Spreadsheet logic and scripts become web apps and services with a clear structure, tested logic and a shared codebase. Several engineers can work on the code in parallel, and nothing depends on a single person anymore.

Processes talk to each other.

Services exchange data through defined interfaces and events, and results land in a shared data foundation. Workflows become automatable end to end and can be monitored.

AI plugs right in.

Through the same interfaces, AI agents call calculations, query data and orchestrate entire workflows. AI POCs become production-grade solutions.

TODAY

Individual tools

  • Local apps
Local tools become software

Engineering platform

Tools become software, usable by everyone and reliable

What gets built

  • Web apps instead of spreadsheet forms
  • Automated calculations and workflows
  • Clean data flows and a shared data foundation

What the platform takes care of

  • Deployment
  • Security
  • Interfaces
  • Operations
Processes become interoperable

Result

Connected product development

  • End-to-end process chains
  • Monitored workflows
  • AI agents via interfaces

Until your product development automates on its own.

  1. 01

    Engineering software check.

    In one week, we look at which tools exist, how they are developed and operated today, and what is missing for a clean path to production. You receive a solution draft with a platform design and concrete next steps.

  2. 02

    Platform and first tool.

    In about four weeks, the platform is in place and a first tool runs on it as real software. Along the way, we define the standards for building and deploying every tool that follows.

  3. 03

    Automate on your own.

    More tools move onto the platform and get connected. Your engineers take over step by step, until they automate new processes end to end, independently and for the long term, with AI agents if you want.

Alongside

Enabling your engineers.

From day one, your engineers learn to develop and deploy software properly, including with AI. Automation becomes something your organization can do itself, instead of a project you buy.

Test bench back then. Cloud platforms today.

I started out as a test engineer at an automotive supplier. There, I built tools myself and saw why they fail. Later, I built real-time data platforms for millions of users. Today, I bring both together: engineering experience and software, cloud and AI architecture.

More about me

Freedom for product development, guardrails for IT.

Your IT team can't build every specialized tool your engineers need. But without guardrails, engineer-built tools quickly turn into shadow IT with security gaps. A shared platform resolves this: engineers build independently, within clear rules for security, operations and ownership.

  • Consistent, reproducible deployment of all applications
  • Central authentication, access control and network security
  • Interfaces, events and a shared data foundation
  • Integration of AI services and orchestration of multi-step workflows
  • No dependency on any single software or cloud vendor
  • Clear responsibilities between IT and engineering

I work with your IT from day one, not around it.
