As an engineering lead at Sportradar he drove migrations, security improvements, and rapid client-facing deliveries while mentoring teams and running day-to-day squad operations.

Curious, social, and design-oriented, he excels at detangling complex systems and connecting interdisciplinary teams to deliver pragmatic, user-centered solutions.
