I recently returned as Technical Fellow to the Haufe Group, one of Germany’s leading digital media and business services companies in Germany. I am also part-timing as CTO of GeoCTRL, a geo-location business analytics startup. Before that I was the CTO of adello.com, a Mobile Marketing startup using Machine Learning for programmatic advertisement and mobile fraud prevention and CTO of the Haufe Group. I have over 20 years of software development experience in Telecom, Middleware, and SOA products in enterprises and startups. Prior to joining Haufe-Lexware, I was API Evangelist, Product Architect and Business Developer for Layer7 Technologies (acquired by CA Technologies). Before joining Layer7 I was part of the in-house incubator team at the IBM WebSphere CTO office working on Hybrid Cloud and the IBM Appliance Foundation. My other previous companies include DataPower Technologies (acquired by IBM), Lucent Technology, and Hughes Network Systems.
