As a seasoned CTO and an advocate for agile methodologies, I champion self-organizing teams and iterative development to optimize flow and productivity. My leadership philosophy is deeply influenced by my extensive experience in extreme programming, emphasizing quality, learning, and craftsmanship.

Over two decades in the tech industry have taken me from a junior developer to a CTO role across various sectors, including non-profit, SaaS, and supply chain management for restaurants. My technical repertoire includes event sourcing, continous delivery, microservices, and domain-driven design, with a keen focus on code generation for efficiency and scalability.

Beyond the confines of the tech world, my 9-year journey as a scout leader has profoundly shaped my approach to leadership. Working with teenagers on self-esteem and promoting self-leadership has enriched my ability to foster resilience, empathy, and independence in my teams. This experience has reinforced the value of nurturing a culture where individuals are empowered to take initiative and embrace their strengths.

Currently, I am dedicated to marrying technological innovation with strategic business insights. My aim is to craft solutions that not only excel technically but also deliver unmatched business value, ensuring our work resonates deeply with customers and addresses their core needs.

I am committed to the growth of the next generation of developers and leaders, drawing on my diverse experiences in both technology and scouting to mentor with a focus on critical thinking, innovation, and self-leadership. My contributions extend to the broader tech community through speaking engagements and knowledge sharing.

Balancing technical excellence with practical application, my career is marked by a continuous pursuit of learning and improvement. As a seasoned CTO with a unique blend of technical and leadership experiences, I am passionate about using technology to transform industries and guiding teams to create impactful software solutions.
