I love creating and optimising systems, furthermore learning and exploring new contexts. I’ve also done this as a developer (e.g. in case of the 30th busiest website in the world or the largest live stream service) and have been doing so for some time now as a leader. It is important for me to be constantly evolving and to be able to create an environment where everyone has room to grow and fulfil their potential. I like it when the collaboration reaches a level where the whole is more than the parts together, and when it’s supported by a culture where it only matters who adds what to this whole thing, not who that person is. I used to be the Head of Engineering at Ustream, now I’m VP of Engineering at Bitrise, and I’m working to make both our engineering team and the entire company a true learning organisation.
