As an INNOQ Fellow and the mind behind arc42 and aim42, he creates frameworks that structure complex systems for the finance, automotive, and logistics sectors. His approach focuses on making system requirements explicit rather than assumed. Whether exploring quality-driven architecture or sharing practical lessons on the Architecture Communication Canvas, he helps teams bridge the gap between development and stakeholder expectations. Based in Cologne, Gernot spends his downtime practicing yoga, tracking down good food, and brewing a decent espresso. ## Past Sessions ### World Congress 2025 路 July 9, 2025 Berlin, Germany - [42 x 2 Canvases Later: Two Years, Two Minds, Many Lessons](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1458-42-x-2-canvases-later-two-years-two-minds-many-lessons) 路 30 min 路 馃帴 Watch recording ### World Congress 2024 路 July 17, 2024 Berlin, Germany - [Getting Quality Right](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2024/sessions/365-getting-quality) 路 30 min ## Videos - [42 x 2 Canvases Later: Two Years, Two Minds, Many Lessons](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1458-42-x-2-canvases-later-two-years-two-minds-many-lessons) 路 Benjamin Wolf, Dr. Gernot Starke ## Links - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gernotstarke/) - [Blog](https://www.gernotstarke.de/artikel/)
