Quality management, DoE, adhesion technology & AI-driven engineering
At the intersection of classical quality management, design of experiments, adhesive technology and AI automation, processes take shape that can be measured, verified and carried into everyday practice.
About
Method, chemistry and software at one table
I treat quality management, adhesion technology and design of experiments as one system. Standards keep results comparable, the chemistry of the bond decides the joint, and design of experiments shows which factors actually matter.
I use AI and software where analysis, documentation and repeatability would otherwise cost time — as a tool for engineering work, not a substitute for it.

Expertise
Five fields, one interface
Methods from quality management, chemistry, statistics, software and sustainability — used where development and series production need decisions that hold up.
Articles
Quality management & audits
Management systems that hold up in daily work: processes, evidence and audits — from preparation through to effective implementation.
Adhesive technology & chemistry
Understanding adhesive bonds from the chemistry: surface, curing and the factors that decide adhesion and durability.
Design of Experiments (DoE)
Experimental design that cuts effort and makes effects visible. Factors, interactions and a result that can be demonstrated.
AI & Software Development
Pragmatic automation for engineering workflows. Building domain-specific AI prompts, automated Python data visualization, and custom utilities to speed up analysis and documentation.
Sustainability
Decisions that hold up beyond the lab: materials, processes and evidence with their impact on resources, durability and the longer life of a product.
