Lead a distributed team (~10 Dev/QA/DevOps) delivering Atellica Data Manager (ADM) and SampleNet for Siemens.

• Flow Leadership: Organize daily check-ins, bi-weekly social sessions, and monthly hackathons to foster trust and creativity.
• Technical Modernization: Modernize services and UIs (REST, Angular, C#.NET), strengthen CI/CD (Jenkins, Git).
• Stakeholder Management: Align with Siemens stakeholders on priorities and delivery.

Key engineering contributions to mission-critical laboratory information systems (GLIMS) and safety products.

• CORE Framework: Designed and maintained shared ABL components and services consumed by several product lines.
• CyberTrack Modernization: Upgraded legacy Rails stack, stabilized integrations, and tuned UX for PDA deployments.
• CI/CD & Automation: Introduced Jenkins multi-platform pipelines and standardized build toolchains.
• Security & Quality: Implemented certificate management, SBOM generation, and drove deep defect triage.

Completed an in‑depth professional training (4‑Year Program) in Embodied Therapy, Psychotherapy, Processwork, and Embodied Leadership. The program was fully experiential and highly transformative, integrating somatic, psychological, and ritual traditions.

• Body‑oriented therapy: breathwork, touch, movement, voice work, and stillness.
• Bioenergetics & de‑armoring: understanding emotional patterns through tension.
• Group dynamics & character structures: mirroring, holding, and working with resistance.
• Processwork: tracking sensations and facilitating somatic integration.
• Ritual practices: fire ceremonies and a full four-day Vision Quest.

Learned to use the body as a compass: tension as information, vibration as truth. Received my spot name during the Vision Quest: “I have nothing to hide.” A core foundation in somatic intelligence and authentic, body‑based leadership.
