Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Rochholz is a technology consultant and manager based in Cologne with 11 years of hands-on experience applying software engineering and AI across industries from aerospace to fintech and proptech. At Netlight he blends product development, software architecture, data engineering and agile coaching to help clients translate real business needs into roadmaps and working teams. He is passionate about team building and mentoring, often stepping into roles that span stakeholder communication from developers to C-level and hiring the right talent to close capability gaps. His background includes full-stack and data engineering roles at startups and research organisations—including a traineeship at the European Space Agency—and a practical mix of product and machine-learning experience from collectAI. Comfortable both in fast-paced startup contexts and structured consultancy engagements, he combines technical depth with empathy for people and processes. A less obvious strength is his early mix of media production and freelance client work, which informs his emphasis on clear communication and user-focused product decisions.
