I worked for 6 years as a full stack developer for individual software with a focus on automatic process processing. My final thesis is dedicated, among other things, to the topic of “Relational databases and ERMs” in relation to process processing. I am currently working in process automation management at a public institution. There I model business processes and business architectures, develop workflows for automation and advise on digitalization topics. I have many years of practical experience with the modeling notations BPMN 2.0 and VSM, which I also teach at regular intervals.
