“A modern Software Architect wants to develop software and a modern Developer wants to architect the future of what he is building”. I truly stand by these words and it is how I have build successful teams in a large enterprise environment. At the core of it stands my believe that teams need to be empowered as much as possible as well as making everyone feel responsible. My passion is to form solutions that create value for our customers and that are at the same time highly available, scalable and build for failure. I was able to gather great experience in this subject, when building a new FinTech. While my career has lead me over time into a management position I have never stopped learning new things in Software development and even today, if my time allows it I try to contribute code and reviews. Delivering great Software and Infrastructure as a Code, build by great people is what motivates me every day.
