Lars Artmann
IT Consultant · Frankfurt
Origin Story
I started programming at 10 years old. No degree. No apologies. I had the privilege to be homeschooled in France between 2014 and 2018 — a self-directed education in computer science, geopolitics, finance, and law. That period taught me to learn fast, think across disciplines, and take full ownership of outcomes.
Before software, I won 1st place in a state-level chemistry competition in Germany — an early signal that I'm wired to understand complex systems deeply.
Why I Leave
I've worked for companies like Hornbach, Wolt (DoorDash), Rolls-Royce, and SKYLINES ONE (via NASA projects). But here's the thing: I got fired for staying too long. More than once.
That's why the 90-day promise exists. Not as a marketing hook — as a scar. I learned the hard way that overstaying your welcome destroys value for both sides. So I come in, find the root cause, fix it with your team, and leave. The goal is to make myself unnecessary.
I've interviewed founders, CEOs, and technology leaders across Europe — sharpening my ability to communicate across stakeholder levels, from engineers to C-suite.

The investment vehicle. Patient capital, strategic allocations, and long-term value in IT and intellectual property — the perspective of an owner, not a vendor.
Operating Principles
Technical methodology →I find what others miss
I discover the compliance gaps, scaling bottlenecks, and architectural contradictions that entire departments walk past.
I fix root causes, not symptoms
I find the root cause and fix it at the source — so the problem disappears permanently, not just temporarily.
I make myself unnecessary
I train your team, transfer the knowledge, and leave them owning the solution. If the system can't run without me, I failed.
Technology serves outcomes, not egos
No AI-washing, no blockchain theater, no Kubernetes for its own sake. Every technology choice justified by the business outcome it produces.
What Others Say
I had the pleasure of working with Lars on a project in early 2025, and I was thoroughly impressed by his proactive mindset and ability to move fast. Lars consistently demonstrated a strong bias for action — he didn't wait around but took the initiative to push things forward. His decisiveness made a real difference to the pace and outcome of our work together.
I can recommend Mr. Artmann to any employer seeking a highly skilled and ambitious Software Developer and forthcoming Software Architect.
Lars has incredible talent for analyzing and solving software problems, learns extremely fast, and excels at joining existing projects.
