Summary

Hello

I am an experienced Software Engineering Manager with a proven track record of successfully leading and empowering Agile teams in Payments, Backoffice and Data Engineering domains. Over the past 5 years, I have managed cross-functional teams of up to 27 members, consistently achieving sprint goals, OKRs roadmap delivery, and maintaining a high level of employee satisfaction.

My leadership style emphasizes coaching and influence over authority, resulting in the growth of junior Software Engineers into Principal Developers. I have also played a key role in the hiring process, having interviewed over 200 candidates.

My expertise extends to data-driven decision-making, with a focus on utilizing tools such as SQL, BigQuery, Looker, and Colab notebook for analytics. I am Lean Six Sigma certified at the green belt level and have a strong background in ETL and BI tooling.

Additionally, I have a rich history of successfully managing projects from technical design to financial reporting, with proficiency in WBSO administration and experience in handling operational escalations.

Furthermore, I have a background in infrastructure leadership, where I facilitated knowledge sharing, maintained high availability of databases, and managed major projects.

My educational background includes an MBA from the University of Amsterdam and a Bachelor's degree in Cybernetics, Statistics, and Economical Informatics.

I hold several certifications, including Lean Green Belt, Microstrategy Architect, and Data Analyst, among others.

I am passionate about data analytics, team development, and achieving exceptional results in cross-functional environments.

Expectations

I clearly prefer roles that require strong problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex issues. With my background in data analytics, ETL, BI tools, and SQL, I would be primarily interested in roles that involve data challenges and data-driven decision-making.

I would probably like to continue to lead and empower software engineering teams, fostering a culture of innovation and creative thinking, while coaching and developing talent. I am primarly looking for a role focused more on leadership and strategy.

Given my experience and appreciation of Agile methodologies, I prefer a position within a company or team that follows Agile practices for software development and involves working closely with different teams and stakeholders
