I build companies —
and the technology
behind them.
Founder & CEO of CORS GmbH and CoreShop GmbH. Engineer at heart, entrepreneur by conviction — and right now, there is a lot more in the making.
Two companies. One conviction: technology should work for people.
CORS GmbH
We develop the most modern and advanced Pimcore projects — guiding companies through digital transformation. Not selling hours: building partnerships and change.
CoreShop GmbH
The company behind CoreShop — the open-code e-commerce platform for Pimcore. Started with a simple vision: make e-commerce with Pimcore great and fun.
In the making
— new ventures, beyond the Pimcore ecosystemAI-powered calorie & workout tracking for iOS — with an AI coach that actually knows your training. App, watch companion and backend, built from the ground up.
A full Kubernetes client for iOS — every resource type, live logs, Helm, GitOps, metrics and multi-cluster health, right from your phone.
I never stopped writing code.
Being a CEO does not mean leaving the keyboard behind. Open source is where I come from — I have been contributing to the Pimcore ecosystem since 2012, and CoreShop remains one of my most important projects there. These days you will also find me deep in Kubernetes clusters and building apps on the side.
