Role profile
When development, people and operations pull in different directions, even good solutions become hard to deliver. As an IT leader, I can help turn those competing needs into clear priorities. My experience comes from responsibility for employees, customers, software and operations in my own businesses. It gives me a practical basis for asking what the business needs, what the team can realistically deliver and which technical choices will hold up afterwards.
At Modified Solutions, I built a software business with up to 16 employees and responsibility for recruitment, staff development, customers, capacity and delivery. At avecdo, I took a SaaS product from idea to daily operation. As CTO at Mira Internet, I was responsible for hosting and business-critical services. Together, these experiences give me a practical view of IT leadership: understand the need, choose a workable solution and ensure the team and operations can support it.
I set clear expectations and give people the autonomy to solve their tasks. My colleagues have held independent responsibility while knowing I was available for support and decisions. Development conversations have covered professional growth as well as wellbeing. When a delivery problem affects a customer, I take responsibility for the conversation so specialists can focus on resolving it. Accessibility, trust and clear direction are recurring themes in the recommendations from people I have led.
My technical background covers software development, databases, integrations, Linux and hosting. I have worked with server operations, capacity, backup, redundancy and monitoring, giving me a practical understanding of how development decisions affect ongoing operations. In customer projects, I translated needs into specifications, priorities and deliveries with developers. As an IT leader, I use that foundation to ask useful questions, clarify dependencies and make decisions that serve both daily operations and the organisation's next requirements.
Case

Case
I founded avecdo and took it from idea to daily operation: around 3,000 users, 1,500 webshops and 15 million products processed each day.
Experience
From business need to clear software requirements: I work with users and decision-makers to define the problem before developers build a solution.
Experience
ERP and API integrations connecting webshops, finance and customer systems. Experience with Dynamics, Business Central, SAP and e-conomic.
Delivery
Supplier-side IT delivery: customer dialogue, scope, budgets, specialists and operations, from the first agreement through incident response.
Product and process
Workflow automation in practice: I led development of a mobile service process and worked on order flow between a webshop, finance system and suppliers.
Product and process
Hands-on experience introducing AI to software teams, teaching new workflows and assessing business value, quality and human accountability.
