What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and allows for leadership in tech projects.

I'm a seasoned Senior Software Architect with a strong background in .NET technologies and a passion for leading multidisciplinary teams. My journey began with a degree in Engineering Informatics, where I excelled in advanced programming projects, including a stock market application in JAVA that received top honors. Over the years, I have honed my skills in agile methodologies, particularly in Kanban and Scrum, while working on complex software solutions across various industries.

In my recent role as CTO at Inspire IT, I implemented strategic development processes and led the creation of innovative solutions using technologies like .NET Core, React, and microservices architecture. My hands-on approach ensures that I remain deeply involved in the technical aspects while managing project lifecycles effectively. I take pride in fostering a collaborative environment that encourages creativity and growth, as evidenced by my success in organizing hackathons that resulted in valuable internal products.
