Engineering Team Lead
Building financial technology at Tomorrow
Software engineer from Lübeck, Germany. I lead teams, write code, and occasionally convince people that tests are worth writing.
About Me
I'm an Engineering Team Lead at Tomorrow, where I help build financial products that people actually use.
I split my time between writing code, unblocking my team, and trying to make banking less painful. I've been writing software and leading teams for a while now. These days I spend most of my time on architecture decisions, code reviews, and helping developers grow.

Experience
Engineering Team Lead
Tomorrow
Leading the engineering team building Tomorrow's mobile banking platform. I spend my days on system design, code reviews, and helping my team ship features without breaking prod.
Previously
Over 13 years of building software across FinTech, InsurTech, and safety-critical domains. I've been a senior engineer at Tomorrow, led my first engineering team at ELEMENT Insurance, and spent six years at Dräger working on medical and safety technology where reliability isn't optional. The thread through it all: writing code that matters, and eventually learning that growing people matters just as much.
What I Do
FinTech Solutions
Building mobile banking at Tomorrow. I focus on making financial tools that are both powerful and actually pleasant to use. It's about finding the balance between security, compliance, and user experience.
Team Leadership
Leading and growing engineering teams. I believe in code reviews, honest feedback, and letting people make (recoverable) mistakes.
Software Craft
I'm a pragmatic believer in TDD and clean code. Not dogmatic about it, but tests have saved me from myself more times than I can count.
