  • Apr 2023 - Present

  As an engineering manager I’m responsible for about 15 FTE of developers divided over multiple teams. I make sure they perform well, provide guidance in their day to day work, challenge them, but most of all let them have fun while doing so. Apart from managing activities, I’m also project lead for several projects where I assist and connect the right people while being keen on project delivery.
