Skills

I help organizations to plan, develop, operate and optimize their software, tailored to their specific needs:
From being the bridge between tech and business sides, to getting deep into performance and cost optimization.
I have a strong background in distributed development for the web in the .NET and Azure ecosystem, both in the startup and corporate world.
Developed the back-end of Tresorit. Helped to optimize project cloud costs at Delaware Consulting by 30%.

In my last years I made a move into software consulting, where I was leading and mentoring a smaller team on Sitecore and other .NET related projects, as well as designing cloud based architectures, and solving infrastructure and automation related problems. I have a good understanding of DevOps and helped implementing the process in various environments. I was also an occasional advisor for the company's IT security team, working closely with the CISO, due to my years spent at Tresorit.
Apart from the technical side, I was strongly involved in pre-sales and business pitches to our clients.

When not working, I am somewhere traveling in this amazing world, meeting awesome people, and honing my artistic self as a photographer and designer.
