Software Development Team Lead – Automotive Classifieds, Digital Platforms & AI-Driven Product Innovation

For more than 20 years, I have been building and evolving digital products across finance, NGOs, lifestyle brands, and the automotive industry. My work focuses on creating scalable, high-performance platforms and delivering meaningful, user-centered experiences.

Currently, I work in Germany’s leading automotive classifieds business, supporting one of the most trusted and widely used car platforms in the market. As a Software Development Team Lead, I guide a cross-functional engineering team, drive technical and product excellence, and ensure continuous delivery of reliable, high-value features in a fast-moving and competitive environment.

I actively leverage AI to optimize workflows, improve development efficiency, and enhance product capabilities. By integrating AI-driven insights and tooling into our processes, I help my team work smarter, accelerate delivery cycles, and extend our products to deliver maximum value to our customers.

I work extensively with HTML5, modern CSS, and responsive design principles to build fast, scalable, and maintainable front-end architectures. Performance optimization, accessibility (A11y), and inclusive design are fundamental pillars of my work, ensuring outstanding user experiences across web, iOS, and Android platforms.

I am deeply experienced with agile methodologies and enjoy leading teams built on collaboration, empowerment, and a strong solution-oriented mindset. Over recent years, I have continuously strengthened my leadership capabilities while working on complex, global, multi-tenant digital products across markets including Canada and Australia.

With a strong design background, I place great emphasis on typography, layout quality, usability, and clarity. My goal is always to create accessible, reliable, and high-quality digital products that scale effectively and provide measurable value to both users and businesses.
