Engineering leadership first, AI enablement now.
Head of AI Enablement · Y1 Digital AGRhein-Neckar, Germany
Twelve years from BI working student to Head of Development to Head of AI Enablement. Today I run company-wide AI enablement for a digital agency: agents in productive use across every department, autonomous dev crews that execute specced work, and the cost and usage discipline to keep all of it honest.
Led the engineering organisation behind Schiesser's PIM re-platforming, live in parallel with a new e-commerce shop. The project Schiesser, Centric Software and Y1 presented on the K5 Future Retail 2026 stage: product data treated as business strategy, not an IT backend.
Initiated and own YARA, Y1's internal agent runtime. One place where agents meet the company's knowledge and tools: the backbone for rolling AI capability into every team, not just engineering.
Community catering app built as a part-time venture alongside my main role: Flutter app, GraphQL microservices, CI/CD into both app stores. Product development with my own money on the line. It's the perspective I bring to build-vs-buy calls.
