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’s 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). Also trained in personal and executive coaching and personal development. Extensive industry experience in public administration (finance/tax) and FinTech/wealth management.
Success: The best systems are not created by the cleverest lone wolves, but by teams where each person can grow. My goal is to create exactly these environments: as an architect, the technical vision; as a coach, people’s development; and as a Scrum Master, the framework that brings both together.
