Summary

For over 20 years, I have worked as a software developer and architect on custom software systems. I have worked in both product and project development, giving me a broad range of experience across the entire software lifecycle.

I would be happy to support your team:

in the early stages of a project with consulting (e.g., technology selection and technical feasibility) and by helping product management set up a team and adopt agile methods
as a technical project lead / coach / Scrum Master in agile software development teams
with analysis and design, system architecture, and software development
by reviewing existing systems and developing improvement plans, as well as carrying out extensive refactoring

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

I enjoy taking on new areas of work, and I find it easy to join new teams and contribute collaboratively. I also enjoy working in international teams.
