About

Engineering Leader with 15+ years of hands-on experience and a deep belief in the power of human potential within tech. I’ve had the unique opportunity to build and scale product and engineering teams across diverse tech ecosystems in Asia, Europe, and North America. My work spans Platform and SRE engineering at SAP, building Beamery's Berlin engineering hub from the ground up, and leading quality and security-focused engineering at Wire, one of Europe's most privacy-first messaging platforms. I lead with a pragmatic focus on system thinking, clear ownership, and people development. I've coached multiple senior engineers into tech leads and engineering managers across these organizations. In 2025 I founded Glowstep, a platform combining AI and human coaching to help tech professionals navigate career transitions. Want to collaborate or learn more about Glowstep?
