When systems depend on people, that's not growth.

Architecture & operations for processes that run independently.

About Me

My name is Kevin Welter.

I don't believe in quick fixes or technological shortcuts. Sustainable innovation happens where clear architecture, responsibility, and people come together.

Maybe it's this mix that defines me: I'm tattooed, I find balance in yoga and meditation, and competitive sports are as much a part of me as quiet concentration. Since the birth of my sons, my perspective has sharpened further – systems, decisions, and structures must not only work, they must hold up.

Craftsmanship before theory

Before I studied computer science, I completed an apprenticeship as an IT specialist. That experience fundamentally shaped how I view IT.

I don't see IT as an abstract discipline, but as a craft: Systems must be built, understood, operated, and handed over.

This mindset still guides my work today. I don't just design – I implement. And I remain responsible when systems have to prove themselves in daily operations.

Architecture Over Tool Collections

I don't work with off-the-shelf solutions. Not with hype. Not with 'We can fix that later'.

run reliably without depending on individual knowledge
are clearly documented
grow with the company
and relieve operational pressure from leadership

I reduce complex structures to the essentials – so they remain usable for everyone involved.

Translate, simplify, anchor

A significant part of my work is turning technical complexity into actionable decisions.

Not everyone needs to understand IT. But decisions must be made on clear foundations.

I translate technology into structures that work across the entire IT value chain – from strategy to operations.

Experience with Responsibility

For over ten years, I've been helping companies evolve their digital systems – from mid-sized family businesses to international corporations.

What all these organizations have in common: Sustainable growth is only possible when systems don't depend on individual people.

That's exactly what I work on.

Focus Areas

System & Operations Architecture

So systems don't depend on people.

Most IT setups work – until someone is missing or something changes.

This isn't about tools, it's about sustainable architecture:

clear system boundaries
clean responsibilities
stable operations instead of constant firefighting
documented, transferable structures

Result: Systems run reproducibly. Knowledge lives in the system – not in heads.

Process Architecture & Optimization

Structure first. Then automation.

More automation doesn't fix bad processes. It just breaks them faster.

This focus area ensures that:

processes are simplified before being automated
special logic is reduced, not amplified
workflows remain explainable and maintainable
growth doesn't lead to more complexity

Result: Processes support the company – instead of slowing it down.

Strategic Insights for Decision Makers

Clarity for decisions with long-term impact.

Technical decisions are always leadership decisions too. This focus area provides orientation before you head down the wrong path.

architectural thinking instead of tool hype
allocating responsibility properly
scaling without losing control
why 'more technology' is rarely the solution

Result: Better decisions. Less friction. A calmer system.
