Testimonials

Companies today are confronted with various challenges of the VUCA world and rely on modern and professional enterprise architectures. For several years, I accompanied Dominik as he not only shaped this future path, but also combined the right skills and people to create new solutions. He not only established new structures, formats and platforms, but also always had an overarching view of new technology trends, their integration and how to get the best out of them. I still hold him and his opinion in high esteem today and am grateful for the path we have taken together.

— Hans Ruschinski, Enterprise Architect, RWE

I got to know Dominik as a smart guy who takes care about his projects, team members and project results. He really drives projects forward and aligns architectural decisions with stakeholders and users.

— Dirk Müller, CIO, Vivawest

Dominik and I ran a training for T-Systems orchestrated by the RWTH Business School which was about AI, new business models and digital products. It was real fun to prepare the training and to align business and technology. AI demonstrators, deep dives into AI and great story telling resulted in splendid feedback by the participants. I am looking forward to working with Dominik again.

I have been working with Dominik in several projects and really enjoyed his liability, engagement and technical skills. I am looking forward to having him in a team again. It is a pleasure to work together with him.

— Halil Hancioglu, Solution Architect, OPITZ CONSULTING

We got Dominik involved in some of our digital projects for his OT and IT knowledge. We were very happy with how well researched he is. The speed with which Dominik can connect machines to a cloud storage is quite impressive thanks to his all-round mentality. He enabled us to benefit and learn from our machine data. It is motivating to work with him and we would love to do that again.

Pragmatic Maker. Technology Evangelist from Heart. Passionate Improvement Specialist.

Designing and improving IT systems, platforms and processes is my passion. In doing so, I act as an advocate for business. I focus on the system’s added value and not only on technological aspects. I am enthusiastic to reach the best solution and, therefore, I am used to be engaged with strategic goals and guidelines, to work with and on requirements or constraints. I balance those to achieve a best fit. Throughout my career I had various roles and responsibilities. Currently, I fulfill two different architecture roles. I act as an Enterprise Architect and Solution Architect. I position platforms and solutions, structure existing IT landscapes and define target visions and guidelines. I challenge landscapes against goals and constraints

while I bring in a continual improvement mindset. My favorite discipline is technology management combined with innovation management. This creates a setting where technology and use cases drive business development. The role of an architect requires communicative and interpersonal skills. I am accustomed to communicating and presenting across various hierarchical levels as well as to individual coaching. I thrive in organizations that are open for change. I am particularly passionate about topics where a realm of technology emerges into organization and culture. Hence, I feel comfortable in areas such as Cloud, Automation, Application Integration and Process Design.
