Experience
From building software to connecting technology, teams and organisation.
I have worked on business-critical PHP applications since 2012. My responsibilities have grown from development and operations into technical leadership, team development and employee participation.

Senior Software Engineer
Lead development · Scrum Master · Works Council vice-chair
I work on Student Transport, Student Guidance and the Education Portal, together with their supporting APIs and services. My role has grown towards lead development, with responsibility for technical cohesion, quality and feasibility.
- Renewed the DUO ROD integration for the new data standard, enabling legacy integration technology to be phased out.
- Introduced isolated test environments for every pull request, allowing testers to validate changes and migrations independently.
- I coordinate external penetration tests, from scope, planning and access to translating findings and following up remediation.
- I improve collaboration and predictability as Scrum Master through pragmatic Agile practices, planning and alignment with the product owner and team lead.
- With the annual “Team Education Wrapped”, I help the team look back on results and development in an accessible and light-hearted way.
Scrum Master since spring 2024, elected to the Works Council in late 2024 and vice-chair since mid-2025. My focus includes AI and technology, privacy, employee communication and organisational change.
