With 33 years of experience in all aspects of Source Control Management, CI/CD and Application Lifecycle Management, I have contributed to the success of many large companies across the globe.
I co-founded GERRITFORGE 16 years ago, when I then join forces with Google, Qualcomm, SAP and the other Gerrit contributors to fuel innovation and drive the Gerrit Code Review open-source project. I play an active role in the OpenSource Community, contributing to several major projects.
I am a software engineer and architect with experience across various domains. Over time, I’ve seen how good architecture and thoughtful design choices directly influence the quality, maintainability, and long-term impact of a product.
I care about practical, scalable designs and clear separation of concerns. In my work, I focus on designing and maintaining systems that support change and are easy to reason about. I believe that during the implementation phase, code reviews are a crucial step - and making them as efficient as possible pays off.
Outside of work, I contribute to open source, particularly Gerrit Code Review, where I’m active as a developer, maintainer, and occasional speaker.
Yet another developer seeking to find the answer to “why” questions!
