# INTRODUCTION

I build and run platform & trading infrastructure — and lead the teams that keep it on the track.

Currently VP at Solactive in Berlin, leading the index-calculation engineering team. Ten years at Deutsche Bank before that, on low-latency trading stacks across US / EMEA / APAC. I work in Java, Kubernetes, YAML, and people — and I like dense dashboards, quiet deploys, and tools that don't shout.

Open to principal / staff / platform-lead roles. Berlin, remote EU, or interesting things in between.
