While I believe technology to be the main driver of efficiency and innovation, I also believe business and IT must go hand in hand. Engineers, Architects and Management must inform and inspire each other to achieve true value. Synthesizing all kinds of organizational and personal needs, constraints, and goals into IT-Architecture is my greatest passion. To me, IT business is people business - that's why I love working in this industry.About me:• Coming from a Software Development background, I decided to explore "the other side" and got a master's degree in business administration. Having knowledge, skills, language, and an understanding of business value I am able to move effortlessly between both worlds - tech and business - and to come up with solutions that work for everyone's goals.• Having labored down in the trenches myself, I come up with solutions that will actually work before they are built and time and money are spent.• My no BS attitude means that, honestly, not all solutions I come up with will work forever, but I'll sure let you know about risks and their mitigation.• I strongly oppose Ivory-Tower-Works-only-on-Paper-Architects and care about buy-in from all stakeholders, especially those who pay, use, build and maintain a solution• Besides taking up IT challenges I enjoy reading books, food, playing golf and video games, and everything Crypto.Want to say hi or grab a beer and joke about how the answer to the question to life, the universe and everything should have been IT?
