I'm the project manager you bring in when IT needs calm execution. I've managed mainframe engineering/operations, web-platform applications/releases, and cross-functional teams at major institutions (banks, stock exchanges, healthcare organizations, insurances). Whether it's regulatory pressure, million-euro infrastructure projects, or getting distributed teams aligned — I make sure technology and people work together. Part-time by choice to maintain focus and quality, full commitment guaranteed. Swiss-based.
