As a father of two sons, nothing motivates me more than the prospect of ensuring a future worth living for my children. For this reason, I have decided to dedicate all my creativity, passion, and time to this goal and love working for companies whose products aim to make our world digitally a better place.

As a techie who has planned, built, monitored, optimized, and maintained many scaled software solutions with decentralized services, I am firmly convinced that decentralization, connectivity, and scalability can solve many current technical problems. With good UX, software can also contribute to solving the economic, environmental, and social challenges of our time.
As a tech enthusiast, I would be thrilled to work for a company that is working on solving such problems.

Due to my many years of professional experience, I know that the best products are made in agile processes with good teams: Organizing this is a technical and communicative task that I understand as an integral part of my daily work.

I have an extensive technical background, agile project management experience, personnel management skills and bring plenty of startup experience.

As the founder of a software company, I have produced complex business applications for SMEs and international corporations. As CTO, I have built teams in startups and designed, developed and scaled complex web applications, monitored operations and ensured their quality in both monolithic and microservice-based infrastructures.

And most recently as Head of Engineering at a Greentech startup, I built international development teams remotely only, set coding and quality standards and, with the introduction of agile formats and toolsets, contributed significantly to a corporate culture characterized by openness, transparency and agility.

I love turning ideas into viable products and working in agile contexts.
Some of my skills:

• Agile, Scrum, Kanban, Extreme Programming, Test-Driven-Development (TDD) & Behaviour-Driven-Development (BDD)
• Ruby (Ruby on Rails), Python, React & React-Native, Flutter, Javascript (Typescript), Go, Java, PHP, HTML/HAML/SCSS/SASS

Here are some references of my work.

Head of Engineering @ inoqo

The food industry produces around a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions. Reason enough to develop software that calculates the climate impact of retailers' and food producers' products, as well as an app that not only provides consumers with background information on food, but also enables consumers to improve their CO2 footprint as easily and playfully as possible.

Devops @ sum.cumo

The insurance industry is one of the heavily regulated industries in the DACH region. All the more exciting to be able to co-develop a platform for several digital insurers using agile methods and a modern tech stack (Rails, kubernetes & Docker) and integrate observability & monitoring.

I live with my wife and two sons in Erkrath near Düsseldorf. So far I have been working from my own office in Düsseldorf or from home. But of course I can also travel, especially to Berlin or Hamburg.
