About
From test benches on the factory floor to my own software company.
I started out in 2009 writing controllers for automation lines — software where a bug stops a production line. That shaped how I work: I would rather be careful than fast. By way of CRM solutions, business intelligence portals and leading development teams, I ended up founding my own company in 2025.
Career
Places I have worked
- 2025 — presentpresent
Founder & Managing Director
mrsd Solutions is my own software company. I build custom applications with .NET and Microsoft Azure and support teams from architecture through to operations.
The focus is on software that can still be evolved five years from now: clear architecture, high test coverage, automated delivery.
Alongside that I take on technical consulting — code reviews, architecture decisions, and setting up CI/CD processes in existing teams.
