Engineering Manager driving data-driven product and procurement automation.
What I'm looking for
I am an Engineering Manager with over two decades of hands-on software engineering and leadership experience, focused on building scalable data products and automating procurement processes. I lead cross-functional teams to deliver analytics-driven solutions that improve forecasting and supplier integration.
At Zalando I championed procure-to-pay automation, developed advanced analytics tools for performance forecasting, and promoted data-informed decision making across teams. My work has consistently improved process efficiency and strengthened product strategy through actionable insights.
Previously as CTO of Connectavo I guided the development of an IoT-enabled industrial maintenance assistant, streamlined maintenance tracking, and used sensor data to enable preventive maintenance that reduced downtime. I have deep experience designing backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and data acquisition pipelines.
I combine strong technical skills in distributed systems, data engineering, and cloud platforms with Agile leadership and a focus on business impact. I seek opportunities where I can lead teams to deliver scalable analytics solutions and optimize operational processes through automation.
