Hi, I'm Oli

I was born in the seventies and grew up in Germany at a time when home computers started to shape how people think and create. From the C64 and Amiga to PCs and Macs, technology was always part of my daily life. I naturally moved early into smartphones and smart devices, driven by curiosity and a strong interest in how things work.

I am a tech enthusiast and a nerd at heart. I enjoy building useful applications and small experimental web games, often as prototypes to explore ideas fast and learn from them. For me, software is both a craft and a playground.

Professionally, I work as a software engineering team lead. My main focus is to build high throughput teams by creating an environment that supports autonomy, trust, and individual growth. I have experience across startups, mid size companies, and corporate environments, which helps me adapt my leadership style to different contexts.

At my core, I believe in people. In their curiosity, their good intentions, and their ability to grow when given trust. I believe in people first, in trust over control and curiosity over certainty. I try to move through my work and everyday life with humility, kindness, and an open mind, because meaningful things are built where people feel respected, trusted, and seen.
