Norbert is a young and very experienced developer, architect. His passion and hobby is everything what is about programming. He follows the new technologies like mobile development, web development, blockchain technologies, web services and web designs, devops and more. He is one of the most talented programmer who I know. He is also very helpful, humble as a leader and a good team member and team leader. I had the honor to work with him at the same company

Norbert is one of a rare breed: Intellect sharp as a razor, forward thinking, diligent, and a lovely personality. I couldn't recommend him higher. One of the best I've ever had the pleasure to work with.

I enjoy juggling functional and non-functional requirements with tech and budget constraints to come up with the best solutions for our clients.

I organize presentations, have 1:1 sessions, coach and mentor lead developers and conduct tech interviews. - Leadership: As part of the leadership team I focus on making sure that we are on the right track from a tech perspective and that our initiatives align with business goals. I work in a cross-department environment to make sure that our processes are streamlined across the board. I’ve contributed to obtaining our ISO 9001 and 27001 certifications. - Sales Engineering: I continuously refine our processes and strategies for sales engineering, while also being involved hands-on.
