Wolfgang Werner

Programmer turned architect turned consultant turned manager turned very humble programmer.
Enfant terrible of enterprise IT.

I've been
* programming since I was 10yo and got into technical consulting and bespoke software development in 2000
* doing a lot of requirements engineering and system architecture work.
* part of projects in a variety of industries (e-commerce, finance, pharma, manufacturing, and automotive) in enterprises, SMBs, start- and scale-ups.
* an engineering manager and head of a software engineering competence center ...
* ... before deciding that solving actual business problems with code makes me happier than managing people who do it.
From then on, I've been working as a Software Engineer and a Developer Advocate.

Building places for developers to thrive and helping them to grow has been a recurring theme throughout my career. People tell me I'm good at it and that it helped them to develop their skillset.
Now that it's no longer part of my day job, I'd love to pass on some of what I've learned during the last two decades in the industry.
