Designing and delivering large-scale systems in financial services — from hands-on development to lead architecture.
I am a Managing IT Architect based in Copenhagen, working for a leading IT consultancy delivering complex systems across financial services — including investment platforms, banking, insurance, pension providers, and public digital infrastructure. My background spans both hands-on full-stack development (Spring, Kafka, Angular, Vue.js) and senior architecture roles, giving me the technical credibility to engage deeply with engineering teams as well as business and IT stakeholders.
I thrive in collaborative, delivery-focused environments. I lead through clear technical direction and enjoy working in complex domains — whether in agile models like Scrum and SAFe, or more formal governance structures common in regulated industries. I hold leadership experience across large initiatives, product development, and cross-functional developer teams.
