Why work with me

The difference that counts

01

Senior expertise without agency overhead

You work directly with me – no account managers, no junior consultants, no communication loops. Full experience, short paths, fast results.

02

Pragmatic, not perfectionist

No consultant writing months of concept papers. I focus on early results, continuous iteration and a "ship it, learn from it" mindset.

03

Technology-neutral and vendor-independent

I recommend what fits your business – not what earns commissions. Open source, cloud-native or hybrid: technology-open and honest.

04

Full transparency on costs and approach

Clear proposals, fixed day rates or fixed-price packages – no hidden costs, no scope creep. You know at every point what you are paying for.

Process

How we work together

Clearly structured, easy to follow and with no surprises.

01

approx. 30–60 min.

Discovery & Analysis

An initial conversation where I understand your current situation, goals and specific challenges. Not a sales pitch – an honest assessment.

02

approx. 3–5 days

Concept & Proposal

Based on our conversation I develop a clear project outline with scope, approach and deliverables – including a transparent cost breakdown.

03

project-dependent

Implementation & Iteration

Agile approach in short cycles. Regular updates, early partial results and close collaboration – so you always know where we stand.

04

after project end

Handover & Further Development

Full documentation, handover to your team and optional ongoing support. The result is yours – and your team can continue working independently.

Ask another question
What company sizes do you work with?

My focus is on mid-sized businesses that want to tackle their data projects seriously – without the cost of a large consultancy. I also work with growth-stage startups and occasionally with corporate divisions that need independent expertise.

How long does a typical project take?

That depends heavily on scope. An analytics strategy or dashboard project often runs 4–8 weeks. More complex data engineering or ML projects typically take 3–6 months. For strategic questions or assessments there are also compact formats from one week.

Do you work remotely?

Yes, fully. I work 100% remotely and have established processes for distributed collaboration. For kick-off meetings or workshops I can also be on-site if needed – by arrangement and within the project budget.

What technologies do you use?

I am technology-neutral and align with your requirements and the stack that fits your business. I typically work with Python, SQL, dbt, Airflow/Prefect, Snowflake/BigQuery/Databricks, Power BI/Metabase, OpenAI API/LangChain and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).

What does working together cost?

I work with day or hourly rates for ongoing support and fixed prices for clearly defined project scopes. After our introductory call you will receive a transparent proposal without hidden costs. Contact me directly – I find a suitable solution for every scale.

How does collaboration work in practice?

We start with a free 30-minute introductory call. You then receive a concrete proposal within a few days. Implementation takes place in short iteration cycles with regular check-ins. All results are fully documented and handed over to your team.
