Semantic Web · Knowledge Graphs · Applied AI

Building ontology-first systems for the next generation of intelligent data products.

I write about FAIR data models, RDF, SHACL, SPARQL, knowledge graph engineering, and the practical bridge between LLMs and governed enterprise knowledge.

Mission

Solving complex enterprise challenges using AI and Knowledge Graphs.

I build semantic data products that help industry adopt neuro-symbolic AI — pairing the pattern-matching power of LLMs with the governed, explainable structure of knowledge graphs. My expertise focuses on tackling hard problems across Supply Chain, R&D, and Industrial Automation.

Senior Knowledge Graph Engineer · Elevait

Dresden, Germany

Founded the agile ontology practice and automated the release pipeline to deploy versioned, modular domain data contracts. Re-architected monolithic schemas into decoupled semantic modules and built an end-to-end RDF tooling, mapping, and validation framework that standardized deployments across teams and streamlined customer data onboarding.
