## Professional Philosophy
"My goal is not to write more code. My goal is to write less – and correctly."

Career is not a linear "corporate ladder". Started in science, learned that data must fit and models must match reality. Has experience from data warehouses, smaller companies, startups, and corporations. Led entire teams, mentored developers and startups.

Today operates at the intersection of these worlds. Can be very hands-on and write a prototype over a weekend, but also lead a team and design an enterprise system that lasts years. AI is not a marketing buzzword but another tool enabling automation of what was previously impossible.
