Summary
Tomas Skalicky is a Head of Development with 13 years of hands-on Java and Spring experience, currently leading backend development and DevOps at CHECK24 Baufinanzierung from Munich. He has grown from developer to team lead and now heads development, hiring and shaping recruitment processes that improved candidate quality and team performance. Known for empowering senior engineers rather than micromanaging, he combines technical stewardship—architecture, CI/CD, Jenkins and ElasticSearch—with people leadership and conflict resolution. Tomas routinely drives long-term improvements, frequently contributing more than expected and using feedback loops to refine hiring and delivery practices. His background spans domains including construction financing, warehousing and market research, and he leverages critical observation of others’ solutions to continuously learn and adapt.
