| \section*{Summary} | |
| \begin{flushleft} | |
| \it{I am an experienced and passionate software engineering lead with a proven track record of delivering high quality software solutions to complex business challenges. I lead by example and am always looking for new ways to improve the speed and quality of my team’s work.\vspace{1.5ex}\\ | |
| Software engineering is a team activity, where the team works together delivering value in the hands of the customer. In order for this to happen, just delivering working code is not good enough. My primary goal is to enable solid design, which also happens to be working. Long term, this investment yields compounded interest gains.\vspace{1.5ex}\\ | |
| Finally, I firmly believe that happy, motivated and autonomous teams perform significantly better given safe environment and support. These are the types of teams I strive to grow.\\} | |

| Hypofriend is an ambitious early-stage tech startup in the mortgage space with a laser focus on customer satisfaction. My primary job was to guide, support, and grow the backend engineering team. But here, as is the case with most startups, one was to wear many hats. So I also planned, designed, and started the implementation of \href{https://hypofriend.de/en/account/property-search}{property search project}, successfully pushed for an education budget, optimized the core system deployment pipelines, helped transition from Scrum to XP flavored Kanban, and started adoption of testing in production. | |

| Solarisbank is a tech startup with a banking license. I was given time and an incredible opportunity to research, design, prototype, and, eventually, assemble and be part of the amazing team of engineers that built a state-of-the-art distributed core banking system powering the bank today. I am also very happy to have been able to help grow a couple of great people from junior to senior or staff engineer positions. | |

| Madvertise (later LiquidM) is a white label mobile advertising management platform. We built (mainly in jRuby) and ran a distributed ad-serving software system spawning couple of hundred of physical servers. This was also the place where I first encountered on-call duty and extreme programming practices. I learned a lot here. But, we ran out of capital and company had to make significant cuts in order to survive. | |

| Personal was an US based startup whose main focus was ability to efficiently store and share sensitive data (secure digital locker). My first role was to collaborate with the team architect in order to design and implement the REST API. Having completed that I switched to the front-end in order to help reach key objectives. Later I would envision and successfully demonstrate application built on top of the platform to allow users to automatically fill out complex web forms. This was such a success that I was given a team to lead in order to deliver this as a service. Hence, fillIt was born. | |

Since I also had experience in product management, in addition to software development work, I was leading leading several project teams (2–5 developers per team).
