Key points for the last 3 projects I've been working on:
- Build engineering team from scratch, embraced DevOps culture, and over the last 3 months increased the department KPI performance by 25%, while the overall amount of bugs was substantially reduced.
- Launched a B2C food delivery app in Switzerland.
- Transformed POC into a working SaaS platform and made technical sales.
- Motivated and retained talent during the crisis periods.
Over the last 17 years, I had the opportunity to live in 4 different countries and work for very different, yet great companies which are the leaders in their respective fields. Telecom, automotive, game dev, b2b compliance, cryptocurrencies, retail & delivery, and monitoring SaaS startup. Everywhere I fulfilled the role of a person in the blend between management and engineering. My main goal is to build the engineering by embracing the DevOps culture to hit the business needs, reduce delivery time, and fit the budget.
I'm looking for a company to create or embrace the DevOps culture, setup efficient SDLC processes, and deliver the product(-s) faster. Would love to have a challenge, but the top management / C-level should understand why they are looking for an experienced person and ready to accept the cultural and process changes.
