Bio

I am an enthusiastic IT professional and have specialized in software modernization and legacy transformation for IBM i (aka AS/400) and Z (aka mainframe) since 2005. I am also on the board of COMMON Germany and COMMON Switzerland as well as ceCMG.


In my private life I am married (to Peter :-) - Heidi & Peter - you know?) and have two sons. We live in the Allgäu, near Lake Constance, in the south of Germany.


I am also a passionate outside runner and ayurveda cook.


In my job, I am Managing Director of PKS Software GmbH and advise and support our customers in legacy transformation so that the valuable IBM i and Z applications can continue to be used and sustainability is brought to life.
