About me

Technology has been a constant throughout most of my professional life, but I have never been particularly interested in staying within a single discipline. I started with software development, moved through infrastructure and project management, and eventually into leading teams and technology initiatives. What has remained unchanged is my curiosity about how things work — and the temptation to build, modify or improve them myself.

That curiosity extends well beyond work. Depending on the season, I might be on a bicycle somewhere in the Alps, sailing, running, riding a motorcycle, taking photographs, or disappearing into another technical side project that seemed like a simple idea at the beginning.

During my career

Over more than two decades in IT, I have worked across software engineering, infrastructure, service delivery and project management, eventually moving into leadership roles responsible for complex technology projects and multidisciplinary teams.

I have worked in environments ranging from hands-on development to large international organisations, across software platforms, infrastructure, APIs, automation and distributed delivery. Although my role has changed considerably over the years, I have deliberately stayed close to the technology itself. I still want to understand what is happening underneath the diagrams, plans and status reports.

Beyond work

I still build things. NodeSniff is one of them — a monitoring platform that grew out of my interest in Linux, networks, telemetry and connected devices. Other projects never become products at all; sometimes the point is simply to understand something well enough to make it work.

The same attitude probably explains the rest of my interests. Cycling, sailing, motorcycles, photography, electronics and travel may not have much in common at first glance, but for me they are different ways of exploring the same things: technology, places, skills and the satisfaction of learning something new.
