My IT side
I gathered 12+ years of experience working in multicultural, cross-functional, remote software development teams, acting in many leader (CIO, TLM, TL) and individual contributor roles.
At Google I was a Tech Lead in the Zürich Engineering Productivity team, where our focus was in organizational change management, DevOps, delivering automation frameworks, tooling and increasing developer velocity. On the technical level, I took part in the design, development, maintenance, migration and validation of multi-regional, highly scalable, low-latency mission-critical systems.
My IT career started when I started programming at 6. After high school I completed two parallel MSc programs and worked for 5 years as assistant lecturer to collect as much foundational training as I can. I also completed a Computer Science PhD program, doing research in Wireless Sensor Network topology and MAC protocol optimization.
