Profile

AI Section Manager at JDN since 2023. I produce decision-making analyses for 60,000+ IT executives (CIOs, C-suite). I design and regularly publish interactive widgets (visualizations / comparators / simulators) integrated into my reports. As a "vibe coding" developer (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cline), I create tools and web applications. Press photographer for Hans Lucas (AFP, Reuters), I combine technical AI expertise with editorial communication. My work aims to transform technical information into actionable strategic recommendations. My outputs are used to support decision-making by innovation departments, IT leadership, and product teams.
