From the Mittelstand to the public sector, including SAP.
// 01 · WHY ME
Whether a large consultancy, an agency, or an in-house hire: each of these alternatives has a catch. These four points show what you get with me instead.
Large consultancies often deliver presentations that never land in day-to-day work. With me you get a solution that actually runs. For example, invoice creation that runs 93% automated, or software that processes handwritten applications on its own.
At an agency or consultancy, the experienced head sells, and in the end a rotating team does the work. With me, the person who advises is the same one who builds and stays reachable for you. No layer in between.
An in-house hire or a single freelancer quickly hits limits with topics like SAP, public administration, or recognizing handwritten documents. This is exactly where I’m at home, from the Mittelstand to the public sector.
Every project can be tied to a concrete number: 93% of invoices created automatically, +5.3% more online revenue, over 20 projects across DACH. In the end you get cleanly documented code on widely used technology. I take over ongoing maintenance on request as a monthly service.

// 06 · ABOUT
I’m Norman Dilthey, technical founder, full-stack developer and project manager. Whoever designs the solution should build it too. You work directly with me, with no layer in between.
// 07 · QUESTIONS
In Germany, data protection is a buying criterion, not a formality. I work GDPR-aware: for every project I clarify where which data is processed, keep it in the EU wherever possible, and I’m happy to sign NDAs. Where it makes sense, models run locally or on EU servers.
At an agency, the experienced head advises and a rotating team builds. With me, the person who advises is the one who builds and stays reachable. You get documented code and a system you own, with no dependence on opaque technology. On capacity: I work in focused fixed-price projects with a clearly bounded scope and deliver in short steps. Over 20 projects across DACH show that one person can carry it.
You’re never tied to me alone. You get documented code on widely used technology (Python, TypeScript/Next.js, mainstream cloud). I take over ongoing maintenance as a monthly service. Should that ever not be possible, your team or another developer can take the system over. No exotic code, no dependency.
The decisive question isn’t headcount, it’s whether work at your level of complexity has already been delivered. For a public-sector organization I built software that automatically recognizes handwritten applications and transfers the data directly into the SAP system. On top of that come over 20 projects across DACH. That’s integration at a large scale, without the large apparatus and without a junior team learning on your problem.
The AI potential analysis costs €2,500 as a workshop, and the AI Sprint €2,500 per day. I set the price for the actual build after the workshops, once the scope is clear. A paid analysis is credited toward a follow-up engagement. And you pay for the person who builds, not for slides, junior teams and a layer in between. You’ll find the ways we can work together on the Process page.
Single automations are often ready to use within a few weeks. Larger systems I build in short steps, so you see first results early instead of waiting months for one big release.
