About me

Hi! I'm Christian.

I design digital product experiences by leveraging 10 years of expertise in product management, UI/UX design and software engineering.

My specialization is generalization. What do I mean by that? I describe myself as T-shaped: When designing and building new products, I will consider everything in mind: User behaviour, aesthetics, functionality and data and furthermore the real world around it.

I create experiences that form better habits to help people and organizations thrive by connecting opportunities, modern technologies and market trends. Let us think outside the box!

You can find me near Frankfurt am Main, Germany - or better yet on the web.

Work history

Camunda

Product Manager
I joined Camunda to help identify and improve the habits and behaviors of process modelers and developers - to make them more productive and collaborative, and to help them to connect to everything: Microservices, RPAs, event-driven systems, human workflows and any kind of API. At Camunda, we build the most developer-friendly process automation platform that leverages BPMN to align business and IT.
Since 2022

CURSOR Software AG

Product Manager
Starting as a working student in software engineering, I quickly found my place in product management in this CRM and BPM company thanks to my holistic view. There I was responsible for the introduction of innovative technologies to solve our customers needs. Currently I successfully built and delivered topics like a unified Design Language, Platform Integration, Data Visualization, Legacy Transformation, Process Automation, Relation and Knowledge Graphs and User Onboarding.
2011 - 2022

Aviate Solutions

Founder
Founded in November 2015 to realize the idea for our product 'EasyInstall', a maintenance assistant for smoke detectors. Since then I have been working alone or in small teams on the software and the cloud structures surrounding it. Sadly, we had to stop this project because we haven't made it to be profitable.
