Founder · Uzun Digital

Behind Uzun Digital, there is me: airline pilot on the Boeing 777 and computer scientist (Dipl.-Inform., FH) — a rare combination. From the cockpit come precision, systems thinking and an uncompromising safety culture — from computer science, the craft of building software that holds up under load.

Computer science came first, not the cockpit. From 2009 to 2014 I held product and project responsibility at Lufthansa Technik for systems around maintenance, cabin operations and in-flight entertainment — where software meets regulation and safety culture. That domain depth is why I don't start from zero in aviation, MRO and insurance.

For larger undertakings I bring in specialists from my network — accountability stays with me.

How I work

  • One point of contact
    Direct and accountable — from the first conversation into operation.
  • Strategy meets code
    What's recommended can also be built. No translation loss.
  • Aviation-grade
    Precision and safety culture from the cockpit — applied to software.
  • Substance that lasts
    Maintainable systems, not demos that break in production.
