🤝 I help developers to unlock their full potential | 🥇 Elevating Organizations to Excellence

🔥 Helping organizations achieve high-performing SW Craftsmanship and embrace REAL agile and lean for accelerate innovation and delivery.

💡 From my early days on the Commodore C64 in the '80s to working with the fast-paced F1 🏎️ world in 2001, I've been immersed in the world of Agile and eXtreme Programming.

🌟 With experience spanning startups, corporations, and mid-size companies, I've founded successful startups and guided garage-based ventures to become market disruptors. I've empowered traditional 🦖 dinosaurs like banks to embrace lean and agile practices, driving innovation during the early stages of the cloud revolution and DevOps. At IBM, I pioneered the largest eXtreme Programming community of practice and introduced OKR to elevate their agile journey to new heights.

🦄 I firmly believe in nurturing craftspersons who can seamlessly navigate from product discovery to delivery. My career has been built around this philosophy, evolving from a developer to a sysadmin, an Agile SW developer, a DevOps Engineer, and ultimately, a Craftsmanship Coach. I embrace the "as code" mindset, practicing TDD even for IaC, and leverage polyglotism (Java, JS, Python, Go, Ruby, Rust) to deliver products in a GitOps/ChatOps fashion on K8s. I prioritize the latest research in monitoring and observability via AI, ensuring optimal performance while I sleep soundly on two pillows.
