About Me & Expertise

Hands-on Engineering Expertise Directly on the Shop Floor

FM InSo stands for independent, technical consulting driven by deep system understanding. As an Industrial & Mechanical Engineer (TU Braunschweig) with over 10 years of specialized experience in sawmill and timber processing technology at LINCK, I combine mechanical precision with economic performance.

My industrial background spans drive and manufacturing technology at SEW-EURODRIVE, process optimization and error prevention workshops on the truck assembly line at MAN Truck & Bus AG, and turbocharger prototype management at BorgWarner, through to NPI product launches of optical precision microscopes and plant projects in Swiss pool technology.

This interdisciplinary method enables accurate bottleneck analysis, robust functional specifications, and reliable interface management with machine manufacturers—from initial engineering to ongoing after-sales support.
