Summary

For over 20 years, I have been working as a software developer and architect for custom software systems. During this time, I have worked in both product and project development and have been able to gain a broad range of experience across the full software lifecycle.

I am also happy to support your team:

in an early project phase through consulting (e.g. technology selection and technical feasibility) and by supporting product management in setting up a team and agile methods
as a technical project lead / coach / Scrum Master in agile software development teams
with analysis and design, system architecture, and software development
through reviews of existing systems and the development of improvement measures, as well as carrying out extensive refactorings

Understanding customer requirements as the basis for developing a tailored solution is very important to me. Working at the interface between technology and business requirements has long been a central need for me -- IT must not be an end in itself, but must create value.

I am happy to learn new areas of work, and it is easy for me to fit into new teams and contribute in a collaborative way. I also enjoy working in international teams.
