Summary
Johannes Prinz is a seasoned software engineering leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling high-performing teams and modern delivery practices across New Zealand. Currently Practice Manager at MSD, he has a track record of modernising delivery pipelines, migrating monoliths to cloud-native microservices, and growing teams—from hiring processes to developing people leaders—most notably expanding a delivery organisation from 8 to 45 engineers. Hands-on in .NET, cloud, CI/CD, GitOps and test automation, he blends deep technical craft with people-first leadership and measurable quality improvements. He’s pragmatic about tooling and documentation, bringing documentation closer to code and automating audit and compliance workflows (contributing to ISO27001 readiness). Always tinkering and learning, Johannes pairs engineering rigor with a focus on sustainable, productive teams that deliver lasting business value.
