Twelve years running operations, the last three owning digitalisation end to end.
I put AI and automation into live operations and keep them running there. Hospitality, serviced housing and commercial real estate: P&L, teams and department heads, hands-on with hotel PMS since 2018 (Fidelio/Opera, TravelLine, Bnovo, Beds24, Guesty). Since late 2023 I build and run the AI-powered operations platform of a German accommodation operator. Not pilot projects: it runs bookings, invoices and cleaning every working day.
The system runs a live business, so the code and the screens stay behind a company login. What I can show is the decisions: what we evaluated, what I built instead, and where a human still has to sign off.
Everything the team touches, behind a single login.
A German accommodation operator in a turnaround. Bookings, invoices, payments, cleaning and guest messages each lived in a separate tool, and none of them talked to the others. Quotes for a commercial property-management system came to about €60,000 a year — for software that still would not have matched how the business actually worked.
What I builtAn in-house platform for web and Telegram, instead of the licence. It joins eight external systems — channel manager, accounting, banking, telephony, messaging, Google Workspace — behind a single login. I own the spec, the architecture and the deployment, and it runs in the EU region.
What it does nowAn AI assistant operates the booking system through an integration server I built: preview and confirmation before every write, typed confirmation for the risky ones, an audit log underneath. Anything that touches money or a guest is drafted by the machine and signed off by a person.
Joined as a project manager in a turnaround. Today responsible for the company’s technology end to end, carrying about fifty colleagues through the change.
Seven projects across commercial real estate, self-storage and hospitality, €15M+ combined. Around ten direct reports inside a 150-person operation. Relaunched a stalled 201-room hotel in two to three months. Hands-on with hotel PMS since 2018: Fidelio/Opera, TravelLine, Bnovo.
Built the group’s management accounting from scratch and took the monthly close from a week to a day.
