BIM is more than a planning tool. In the current DB Infrastructure strategy it has become the foundation of a fully digital asset lifecycle — from strategy and planning through construction to operation, maintenance and reinvestment. That intersection is where I work: where model-based planning has to translate into reliable operational data — and where “build digitally first, physically second” becomes the operational standard.

In large rail infrastructure projects of DB Region East, I led model coordination, EIR, CDE workflows and quality assurance across the owner, design partners and contractors. My focus: models that are not just geometrically clean, but that carry through as a coherent information basis for every downstream phase — construction, handover into asset operation, digital twin, lifecycle analytics.

I see myself as a civil engineer with deep BIM expertise who coordinates interfaces and solves problems — not as a tool specialist. Methods and software are means to an end. When standard tools fall short, I build my own. What matters is measurable impact: continuous data chains instead of broken handoffs, faster alignment, stronger schedule reliability, and trustworthy information across the entire asset lifecycle.
