About Me

I am consultant and software specialist working predominantly with private banks and financial institutions and specialising in security, privacy, compliance and processes. In these areas I gathered extensive experience over 25 years, mainly working in international projects. Most of the clients reside in Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg and their branches in15 other countries.

Examples of tasks rendered from me and colleagues are environment administration, user roles, automation of processes, ad hoc access control down to auditing, reporting and data change monitoring. The projects I worked in where partially set up from beginning or where joined at a later stage.

IBM’s operating System OS/400 served my efforts to set up extensive processes, which are serving equally processes and the wide range of security issues. The mighty programming languages RPGLE and CLLE enabled my colleagues and me to develop extensive processes and security applications.
