As a hands-on leader (70% Staff Engineer, 30% Engineering Manager), I specialize in transforming both codebases and the teams that build them. I lead and mentor teams of up to 15, driving architecture modernization, achieving up to 99% performance gains, and ensuring consistent delivery with a 95% sprint success rate.
About Me
# My Journey
My career began with a fascination for how things work, which led me from tinkering with hardware to building software. After years as a hands-on developer, I discovered my true passion lies not just in writing code, but in building the teams and systems that write great code. This realization guided my transition into leadership, where I now focus on creating environments where engineers can do their best work.
# My Leadership Philosophy
I believe the best leaders are still builders at heart. My approach is 70% technical and 30% managerial—I spend my time architecting systems, mentoring engineers, and removing roadblocks. I foster a culture of ownership, transparency, and continuous learning, ensuring my team is not only effective but also engaged and growing. My goal is to build teams that are resilient, innovative, and consistently deliver excellence.
# Proven Impact
I translate vision into reality by focusing on tangible outcomes. At Juhi GmbH, I led an initiative that cut critical invoice processing time by over 99%—from hours to minutes. I also architected and delivered a private client billing platform from the ground up, opening new, untapped revenue streams for the business. These projects highlight my commitment to not just solving technical challenges, but driving measurable business growth.
