Amsterdam, North Holland, Norway
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolManfred Linzner-scherf is a pragmatic technology leader and fractional CTO with 11 years of experience helping health-tech and regulated organisations build, scale and stabilise product roadmaps where compliance, architecture and execution must align. He combines hands-on full‑stack delivery (TypeScript/React, Python, PostgreSQL, serverless) with product and security leadership—having built a telemedicine platform serving 10,000+ patients with FHIR, ISO 27001 alignment and deep integrations into Dutch healthcare billing and referral systems. As a founder and former CTO he has taken startups from zero to revenue while also in-housing development teams and guiding certification efforts (NEN 7510/ISO 27001). Comfortable shifting between CTO, product owner and developer roles, he thrives in ambiguous environments where ownership and priorities are unclear, turning predictable chaos into auditable, regulated outcomes. Based in Amsterdam and active across the Nordics and Europe, he’s equally likely to sketch architecture diagrams as he is to perfect a pour-over—bringing a designer’s attention to building resilient systems.
