I have been using agile development methods since 2003 as a developer, lead developer and project manager. A main focus of my work is the optimization of the software development process.

I possess practical expertise in XP (eXtreme Programming) and all related techniques like TDD or Rapid Prototyping. Complementary principles like Scrum, LSD, OOSD, AOSD, FOSD/BDD or SPL/PLA are also part of my portfolio. Two main areas of my studies were software engineering and project management. Since 2004 I'm a Certfied Tester of the International Software Quality Institute (iSQI).
