Marco Kastrup is a seasoned software professional with 13 years in development and nine years of formal experience, now focused on full-time Scrum Mastering while remaining deeply technical. Based in Dortmund, he blends hands-on backend engineering—evidenced by open-source fixes to Axon Framework’s persistence layers—with a passion for agile coaching, DevOps, cloud and test-driven development. He has balanced dual roles as developer and Scrum Master at Compass Software for several years and recently took a dedicated Scrum Master position at PROSOZ Herten. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic problem-solving around database-backed event sourcing and dependency management, not just process facilitation. Pragmatic, technically fluent and agile-first, he brings rare cross-functional depth that helps teams ship reliable systems faster.
