Wunderflats GmbH

Tech Lead Frontend - 2019.11 → 2022.01 - 1 year and 7 months

• Aligning frontend work between agile teams. Working in a very democratic way i facilitate technical decisions, tech debt prioritisation and help set the long term frontend vision.
• Hiring and mentoring At a growing startup a lot of my time is spent on the hiring process, designing it in collaboration with Sr. engineers and onboarding willing team members on becoming interviewers themselves. One of my favourite thing at work is pairing with other developer and help them level up by showing them how to tackle task that are seeming too complicated, but also helping team members navigate parts of the code base with tech debt.
• Aligning engineering goals and business goals. Being very regularly in touch with not only product managers but also coworker across the entire company, I always keep an eye on how the upcoming business challenge will affect current engineering challenge. This can be finding opportunities to repay tech debt or getting ready to refactor parts of the codebase that will soon become inadequate.
• Participating in Technical Due Diligence work for investment round
