Principal Software Developer/Architect & Team Lead
Building reliable software with clean architecture, agile delivery, and AI as a daily sparring partner.
With over 20 years of broad industry experience, I specialise in building software solutions, with a focus on technologies such as Microsoft .NET, Java and Adobe PostScript. Over this time I have built up deep knowledge and skills in designing and delivering high-quality software. I have further strengthened these competencies through additional training in systemic and situational leadership.
I bring extensive expertise in backend development, data migration and process automation. My agile mindset and use of Scrum methodologies go hand in hand with a strong commitment to Clean Code and Clean Architecture.
My project experience spans a range of domains, including logistics, e-government, compliance management, facility management, e-learning, retail and inventory management, CRM, and billing systems (Variable Data Printing).

My strengths span presenting, demonstrating, explaining, problem-solving and coaching. I developed these skills throughout my education and professional career. Stronger leadership capabilities grew out of my cross-functional teamwork during the development process and across multiple teams. Both as an external service provider and in internal roles, I consistently ensured a high level of customer and stakeholder satisfaction. An understanding of business and commercial contexts, as well as of data protection requirements (GDPR), makes alignment with stakeholders and other teams much easier.
For the past four years I have worked with AI as a digital colleague — today it is a firmly established part of my day-to-day development work. What started as a simple line-completion helper has gradually grown into a genuine sparring partner: first for chat and research support, later for the heavy-lifting tasks. As the models have matured, I now also bring this colleague in for planning, technical discussions and code reviews.
In practice, I have built AI-powered features in .NET using Azure OpenAI, in particular for LLM-based applications:
