My story

I’ve spent the last decade obsessing over numbers that tell stories. Born and raised in Munich, I studied Information Systems at the Technical University of Munich before moving to Berlin — a city that matched my appetite for the fast-moving digital world.

My career started in 2015 at a small Berlin startup where I wore every hat imaginable. I built their first analytics infrastructure from scratch — tracking, tag management, custom dashboards — and watched data-driven decisions turn a scrappy team into a serious contender in European e-commerce.

By 2018 I’d joined Zalando as a Senior Web Analyst, leading a team of five across conversion optimization and attribution modelling. We cut customer acquisition cost by 34% in eighteen months by rethinking how we measured multi-touch campaigns. That taught me the biggest wins in analytics aren’t in the data — they’re in asking the right questions.

In 2021 I took the leap into independent consulting and launched Faqirs Digital. Today I help mid-market companies across Europe build analytics cultures that drive decisions, not just decorate dashboards.

What I do

Analytics audits

A complete assessment of your stack — tracking gaps, data-quality issues, and missed opportunities across your measurement and reporting setup.

SEO strategy

Data-driven SEO beyond keyword stuffing: technical audits, content-gap analysis, and search-intent mapping backed by real performance data.

Paid media optimization

Attribution models that reflect real customer journeys, so spend is optimized on incrementality — not last-click vanity metrics.

Dashboards & reporting

Custom dashboards and automated reporting pipelines that give stakeholders the right numbers at the right time — no spreadsheet chaos.
