How I work
- People before tools. The best platform is useless if no one uses it. Adoption begins in the organisation, not in the configuration menu.
- Pragmatic over puristic. I pick the solution that fits the maturity and the budget — not the one with the prettiest architecture diagram.
- Share knowledge. A team that can do things on its own is worth more than a perfect handoff that no one continues.
- Communicate clearly. Especially when things get complicated.
