I wrote my first hello world program in Qbasic at the age of eight, and have been coding ever since. With over 12 years professional experience, as an engineer, team lead and scrum master, I have worked with a wide range of industries and technologies, building first releases at start-ups and taking over large, complex code-bases at established companies. As a leader and scrum-master, I enjoy coaching teams in practicing agile effectively, levelling-up developers, and choosing the right architecture to deliver performant, scalable software. I advocate a pragmatic and empirical approach to process and team organisation, emphasising agile principles and continuous delivery.
