Consulting
I am available as a consultant and can work both remotely and on-site.
Experience
My professional experience ranges from high level management (CTO, CEO), project and product management, software architecture and design, all the way through to optimizing C code at a very low level to run as fast as possible.
Over the last 20+ years, I have built and managed software teams, helped company owners make the right decisions, ran volunteer teams to run e.g. conferences, helped develop communities, and initiated new ones.
Expertise
To give you an idea of where and how I can help you, here’s a selection of topics I cover at expert level:
- Run a company at the CEO or CTO level, e.g. as Interim CTO or CEO
- Advise top-level management on IT, cloud, architecture, compliance and development related business decisions
- Run software projects from end-to-end (design, implementation, launch, support), ranging from short term to multi-year, several million dollar budget projects
- Design large scale component based systems
- Build and manage agile software teams
- Advise in refactoring or redesigning software to make it easier to maintain
- Build and manage open source and non-profit communities
I’m always interested in new challenges, developments and techniques and will do everything I can to assure you’ll be happy with the return on your investment.
Over the last two decades, I have worked on these topics in the context of small startups, medium sized companies, all the way up to the largest corporations and banks.

Rates
My rates depend on the type and field of engagement or project. Please contact me for details.
For things eGenix.com can reuse, I usually take lower rates, e.g. if you need a library we can integrate into our product portfolio. Likewise for community work which will benefit the Python community at large.
