About hackers&wizards

At ten years old, I dismantled my father's computer piece by piece, driven by relentless curiosity to understand how it really works. Twenty years later, after building systems as a developer, designing platforms as a software architect, and leading teams as a CTO, I discovered a troubling pattern: enterprise development teams were becoming LESS productive despite better tools, experienced developers were increasingly frustrated, and code quality was declining even with talented engineers. The culprit? Traditional prompt engineering approaches to AI assistants create more problems than they solve. 🎯 THE TRANSFORMATION I DELIVER As an Agentic Software Engineering Advocate, I help CTOs overcome developer resistance to AI assistants by transforming AI frustration into reliable productivity. Through agentic software and context engineering methodologies, developers convert from AI skeptics into confident AI craftsmen who achieve 10x efficiency improvements while preserving programming joy. 📊 PROVEN ENTERPRISE RESULTS • Led 70+ developers at Breuninger through significant growth and complete shop relaunch • Generated large revenue impact at OTTO through technical excellence • Delivered digital transformation at BLUME2000 during pandemic via remote mob programming • 40+ conference presentations on developer empowerment and systematic AI development • University lecturer with proven knowledge transfer methodology
