From Mechatronics Engineering to leading four Agile Release Trains across an EE Solution — I've spent my career at the intersection of technology, people, and organizational design.
A career built on understanding how things actually work — from embedded systems to human systems.
As Solution Train Engineer, I coordinate across four ARTs to deliver a unified EE Solution — aligning strategy, managing dependencies, and keeping the whole thing moving.
A practitioner's guide to the real challenges of Agile leadership — the politics, the resistance, and what actually works.
This isn't another book about how Agile should work. It's about what actually happens in the room when estimation becomes control, when standups say nothing, and when the improvement items from last quarter's retro quietly disappear.
Drawing on years of leading Agile Release Trains in large-scale engineering organizations, this book gives leaders a language for the patterns they recognize but can't name — and practical tools for navigating them.
The intersection of technical depth and organizational leadership is where I operate best.
Solution Train Engineer overseeing four ARTs. RTE for multiple trains. Leader of the RTE/STE Guild. I know what alignment looks like — and what it costs.
Mechatronics degree, published research, years of software development. I speak the language of the teams I lead — I've been on both sides of the standup.
From embedded control systems to organizational dynamics — I see feedback loops, bottlenecks, and emergent behavior wherever I look. It's the same physics.
Born in South Africa, based in Germany, fluent in English and German. I've led teams across cultures and time zones — the human layer of distributed systems.
Home automation, networking, IoT, embedded systems — I stay hands-on because credibility as a technical leader requires more than slide decks.
I write about what doesn't work because I've tried to fix it. The book, the guild, the daily work — it's all the same mission: making Agile real.
