I help organizations in laboratories, R&D, manufacturing and operations transform fragmented data sources, manual processes and disconnected systems into reliable, maintainable and automated workflow platforms.

Data Platforms & Workflow Automation
  1. Design and implementation of laboratory data platforms (GLP and non-GLP ELN-style systems)
  2. Custom workflow and business process automation platforms (including ERP-style scheduling and control systems)
  3. Automated data synchronization and integration across multiple sources and workstations
  4. Heterogeneous data ingestion, standardization and pipeline development (Excel, instruments, databases)
  5. Knowledge management and cross-domain data sharing platforms
Real-time & IoT Systems
  1. End-to-end IoT sensor data platforms (firmware, backend processing and visualization dashboards)
  2. Real-time data pipelines and monitoring solutions for laboratory and operational environments
  3. Integration of microcontrollers and industrial protocols with modern backend and frontend systems
Legacy Modernization & Architecture
  1. Migration of monolithic applications to scalable microservices architectures
  2. Performance optimization and architectural redesign of existing data and workflow systems
  3. Introduction of modern development practices (CI/CD, Scrum)
Technologies
Strong full-stack capabilities including Python (data pipelines & backend), React/TypeScript, Java, C#/.NET, graph and document databases (ArangoDB, Neo4j, MongoDB), Grafana, microcontrollers (ESP32/Arduino), Docker, and industrial protocols (OPC).

Client work and results
For more than 12 years I have worked with regulated R&D and technical environments, most notably at Philip Morris International’s R&D center in Neuchâtel. Projects include production-grade IoT sensor platforms still in daily use, GLP-validated laboratory workflow systems, non-GLP ELN-style platforms, automated data synchronization engines, and major legacy modernization initiatives that reduced processing times from weeks to hours. I received two Excellence Awards for my contributions.
I have also delivered custom workflow and scheduling platforms (ERP-style systems) and data integration solutions outside pure laboratory contexts, always focusing on practical, production-ready outcomes.

Working style
I combine deep technical expertise with a pragmatic and collaborative approach. I focus on understanding the real operational pain points, deliver working solutions through fast prototyping, and ensure the final systems are maintainable by the client’s teams. I adapt modern practices such as microservices, CI/CD and clean architecture where they add clear value, without unnecessary complexity.

Availability
I am open to projects involving laboratory digitalization, custom workflow and data platform development, IoT sensor integration, data pipeline and integration work, legacy system modernization, and ERP-style business process automation systems.

Projekthistorie

Custom Workflow & Scheduling Platform (ERP-style)

Social services organization (Switzerland)
Designed and developed a custom ERP-style system to manage and optimize trips for handicapped children using taxi services. Included scheduling, monitoring, reporting and efficient resource allocation.

IoT Sensor Data Platform (Aerosol Sensors)

Philip Morris International R&D, Neuchâtel
Designed and delivered a complete real-time IoT platform including firmware, desktop control application, backend processing and Grafana dashboards. The system is still in daily production use in a regulated R&D environment.

GLP-Compliant Laboratory Inventory & Workflow Platform

Philip Morris International R&D, Neuchâtel
Built and validated a GLP-compliant platform for managing climatic chamber inventory with automated workflows, notifications and regulatory reporting. Significantly improved traceability and operational efficiency in a regulated laboratory.

Non-GLP ELN-Style Laboratory Platform

Philip Morris International R&D, Neuchâtel
Developed an integrated laboratory platform combining inventory management, biological assay workflows, notifications and documentation. Replaced fragmented Excel-based processes with a centralized, user-friendly system.

Automated Data Synchronization Engine

Philip Morris International R&D, Neuchâtel
Implemented an automated synchronization system that aligned experimental and processed data across multiple laboratory workstations. Eliminated manual data transcription errors and improved data consistency.

Cross-Domain Knowledge Management Platform

Philip Morris International R&D, Neuchâtel
Designed and implemented knowledge management platforms for Chemoinformatics and Bioinformatics departments, enabling seamless data integration and sharing across different scientific domains.

Legacy System Modernization (Monolith → Microservices)

Philip Morris International R&D + Blue-Infinity
Led the migration of a monolithic chemoinformatics application to a distributed microservices architecture. Reduced data processing time from several weeks to a few hours and significantly improved system scalability and maintainability.

Real-time Monitoring Application for Embedded Systems

Ebotlution Systems (Co-Founder)
Designed the complete embedded architecture (ROS + C++) and developed a real-time Qt-based monitoring and control application for a humanitarian demining robot platform. Secured government R&D funding and multiple innovation awards.
