Selected Work · 1992–today
A selection from the last twenty years — ERP systems still running after thirty years, treasury platforms moving billions a day, and engineering firsts in automated typesetting. (Earlier work goes back to 1985.)
Highlights
245,000 lines of Informix 4GL. Complex address, product, stock and third-party billing with DATEV, SIMBA, Lexware and Navision interfaces. In production since 1992 across multiple companies.
Technical maintenance of a treasury platform processing €2.5 billion in transactions per day, where failure is not an option — across Perl, Python, Java, Oracle, CORBA and SOx compliance.
To the best of our knowledge, the first automatic page-breaking process without widow & orphan lines — solving a problem with no known mathematical optimum, built on PhotoTeX.

Where this leads
Every project here is, at heart, the same craft: imposing order on complex, redundant, real-world data. That craft is now the foundation of ConnectSphere — our venture turning messy enterprise data into one logical, AI-ready truth.
