01 / about
Structure, delivery and people
I'm a Software Engineering Manager based in Amsterdam with 8+ years in software engineering and 4 years leading teams and technical delivery.
At Travix (Trip.com Group) I grew from full-stack engineer to engineering manager, leading payment platform delivery across multiple distributed teams, including a €100M+ platform migration and a PCI-DSS 4.0 compliance programme.
I enjoy bringing clarity to complex problems and helping teams turn ideas into results.
After a planned career break, I'm ready for my next challenge.
