About

A department head who still codes

My journey in software development began in 2009 at COSYS Ident with mobile data capture devices and C# .NET Compact Framework. Today, I lead software development at WERBAS KSR with a team of 20 developers.

Between these two points: positions at Siemens, Trafag and Werbas. Always deeper into architecture, always broader in responsibility. From developer to team lead to department head - but never away from the code.

When I'm not developing or leading, I fly FPV drones through factories and over racetracks. Or I play with my dog Luna.
