Summary
Software developer, architect, and Scrum Master with over 12 years of professional experience in designing, developing, and modernizing complex software systems. My belief: great software is created by great teams. That is why I combine technical know-how with a focus on people.
Specialized in Java/Spring ecosystems. Certified Scrum Master (PSM I) and software architect (iSAQB-F, iSAQB-A in progress). Additionally trained in personal and executive coaching as well as personal development. Many years of industry expertise in public administration (finance/tax) and FinTech/Wealth Management.
Success: The best systems are not created by the cleverest lone fighters, but by teams in which everyone can grow. My goal is to create exactly these environments: as an architect, the technical vision; as a coach, human development; and as a Scrum Master, the framework in which both come together.
