Senior Data Engineer-SAP Datasphere-turning complex business needs into usable data models
Data engineer
25+ years' experience
My focus is on complex data challenges that I solve with SAP Datasphere.
Insights & Inspiration
I share my experience and best practices in data.
What drives me
Data is at the heart of everything I do. For more than 25 years, I have been working at the intersection of data, product information, and e-commerce. Where others mainly see complexity, I see structure and possibilities. That's why I often take on the role of translator: from business talk to tech talk-and back again.
As a Senior Data Engineer and product owner, I combine in-depth technical knowledge with a solid understanding of business processes. Whether it's SAP Datasphere, smart data models, or PIM implementations, I make sure data not only adds up but also adds value.
Colleagues sometimes call me a data magician. That may sound a bit lighthearted, but it perfectly reflects how I see my work: with the right approach and tools, I transform raw data into insights and solutions that truly work.
