We build automation infrastructure for businesses that can’t afford to get it wrong

I co-founded UnpauseAI to fix a problem I kept running into: businesses losing hours to repetitive work that should have been automated years ago, usually because the tools they had tried were too fragile, too expensive, or too locked in to a single vendor. We build the automation they actually need and hand it over as a system they own outright.

My background is in software engineering and systems integration, from data pipelines to API integrations to workflow automation across a range of industries. I lead scoping and architecture and stay on every project from the first conversation through handoff, so what ships holds up in real production, not just a demo. I’m based in Karlsruhe and work across Europe, primarily the DACH region.

I build and run the systems we ship, most of them marketing and lead-generation automation: cold-outreach and enrichment pipelines, reply handling, CRM and campaign reporting, and the document and report generation that rides on top. Because that work runs on real prospect data, it is EU-based and GDPR-compliant by design, with consent, suppression, and audit trails built in from the start. The same setup handles the back-office side too, like reconciling messy receipts and bank statements into review-ready books. Nicolas and I started the company together, and the build side has been mine ever since. More of it is agent-driven now, with language models and document vision on the judgment-heavy parts inside guardrails I trust, and the monitoring that keeps it running after handoff.

I work across the stack, from Python on the backend to the React front end and the deploys, with agent-assisted testing and quality gates on every build. Most of what we deliver passes through my hands, and I am usually the one who answers when something needs fixing fast.
