Beschreibung

I help companies make better technology decisions at the intersection of semiconductor R&D, AI hardware, and product strategy.

With 12+ years of hands-on experience spanning automotive ASIC development, neuromorphic AI hardware, and biomedical chip design, I bring rare technical depth combined with executive-level strategic thinking. As former CTO at Implatronic GmbH, I raised €1.5M in funding, built and led a 10+ engineer team, and delivered a biomedical MVP ASIC from concept to prototype. As IC Architect at TDK Micronas, I defined new product concepts for EV and ADAS markets and led complex analog and mixed-signal ASIC programmes from concept to mass production.

I hold a PhD in Neuromorphic ASICs from TU Hamburg (summa cum laude), with 11 international publications, a patent, and a Best Paper Award in neuromorphic computing. I am completing an Executive MBA at the University of Oxford focused on global technology strategy.

I am available for consulting projects in: semiconductor technology strategy and roadmapping, R&D programme leadership, AI hardware and edge computing advisory, automotive and industrial ASIC development, and interim CTO or technical leadership engagements.

All projects delivered remotely from Germany.

RegnovaAI is an AI-powered regulatory compliance and risk assessment SaaS platform helping organisations automate policy analysis across major frameworks: SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP.
Product
▸ Built and launched a functional AI platform from concept to working product within months covering multi framework compliance analysis, automated risk gap detection, and prioritised remediation reporting.
▸ Designed the AI risk analysis engine that processes uploaded policy documents, identifies compliance gaps, classifies risks (High/Medium/Low), maps findings to specific regulatory citations, and exports reports in PDF, CSV, and JSON.
▸ Developed RegnovaPilot™ - an embedded AI compliance assistant alongside project management, role based access control, alert scheduling, and Jira/Slack integration capabilities.
Commercial Model
▸ Architected a four-tier SaaS subscription model (Essential $369/yr → Team $2,499/yr → Pro $5,499/yr → Enterprise custom) with Stripe billing, annual cycles, and a 30-day free trial on the entry tier.
▸ Designed enterprise tier with API access, dedicated account management, full customisation, and 500+ AI risk reports targeting CISOs, Risk Managers, and Compliance Teams in healthcare and financial services.
Technology & Security
▸ Built on a security-first architecture: end-to-end encryption, audit-ready documentation, and compliance-by design principles appropriate for clients in regulated industries handling sensitive policy data.

01 Dresden, Germany
EKFZ is a leading interdisciplinary biomedical research centre at TU Dresden. Mandate: build a fully operational ASIC design unit from zero, define its multi-year research agenda, and consult biomedical project teams.
Infrastructure & Capital Deployment
▸ Planned, specified, and commissioned a complete ASIC design laboratory with a capital budget of €250,000 - EDA tool licensing, HPC servers, precision measurement equipment, and cleanroom-compatible test infrastructure.
▸ Led full procurement lifecycle: vendor evaluation, commercial negotiation, contract execution, equipment installation, and IT integration on time and within budget.
Strategy & Organisational Build
▸ Designed a multi-year ASIC research roadmap aligned to EKFZ's biomedical programme technology node strategy, design methodology, IP pipeline, and milestone gating linked to DFG funding cycles.
▸ Built and mentored the ASIC research team from scratch; established design review processes, documentation standards, and quality frameworks for academic publication and IP filing.
Biomedical Technology Consultation
▸ Provided ongoing consultation to biomedical research projects in neural interfaces, implantable bio-signal sensors, and low-power acquisition circuits translating clinical requirements into semiconductor specifications.
▸ Advised on system integration for implantable devices: power delivery, wireless telemetry (NFC/inductive), hermetic packaging, and design-for-reliability under ISO 13485 and IEC 60601 frameworks.
