Software architecture and development
Review technical decisions, improve existing systems and build software that can be operated and maintained.
Christian Grobmeier
I have been developing and maintaining software since 2001. I help businesses make technical decisions, work on implementation and give teams the knowledge they need to carry it forward.
I have contributed to the Apache Software Foundation since 2009, including work on Log4j. Today, I also serve as Vice President, Data Privacy. I have been delivering technical training since 2017 and have taught hundreds of people.
AI is part of my work today. It raises many questions I know from software development: What problem are we solving? Who can access the data? How do we check the results? And who will look after the system once it is in use?

Your team may already use AI tools. You may have a specific idea but no clear route to implementation. I help you assess the possibilities against the work you actually do.
We look at a task, clarify the technical requirements and try a suitable solution. Privacy, checking the results and training your team are part of the work.
