There is nothing more exciting than developing and implementing projects, at least almost nothing!

Sure, it is a lot of work, pitfalls are waiting for you all around, and it is a big challence anyway. But life without projects is boring!

It is not suitable to present every single project and in case of jobs for private contractors often confidentiality must be respected. The examples below may give an impression of my work, although the picture must be incomplete due to the given reasons.

In collaboration with inhabitants, stakeholders, and mining industry solutions should be implemented e.g. how to deal with landfills from historic mining, how to reduce today's mining waste, or how to transform them into valuable raw material.
