Around the year 2021, right after a burnout caused by too many long running, complex and parallel projects, I dived into the world that always intrigued me: “how the hell we as humans work? what makes us tick?”. Through courses in Psychology and Neuroscience I’ve got to the Blue Core Coaching program in IBM, from student to supervisor and lately in NeuroLeadership courses I’ve found a true passion for guiding people on the journey to unlock their hidden potential, growth and wholehearted approach to living.

In short, I love coaching for the impact it has on our lives and I am often amazed by what we can accomplish together.

Working closely with and leading teams of software and quality assurance engineers as we deliver projects for our customers. Coaching, mentoring and managing people in my teams, working with other Tech Leads and Tech Directors as we continue to improve processes and our work. As part of the assignment, I am also providing my Coaching services as an Internal Coach to 10 clients, helping them on their path of their transformation.

As part of my work, I have:

• Facilitated stand-ups, retrospectives and building of multiple teams I've managed (up to 16 people), including coaching the team members to lead projects themselves with the project lead being a rotating role and giving everyone the ability to try and learn various roles.

• Worked intensively with the team of tech leads and directors on process and tech improvement to support the production

• Designed and kickstarted and chaired an Architecture Committee, The Ark.

• At times of need, worked hands-on on tooling to help us with reporting and solving live content issues.

• Co-created the training for managers and delivered sessions on Self as a Leader concept.

Helping organisations to realise the potential in IBM Business Automation solutions through real hands-on while working on various Proofs of Experience. We co-create together with customers and our business partners to enable both selection of the right technology and knowledge transfer and also, feedback right to our development and roadmaps. In particular, bellow are some of the areas I help with and lead in:

• Process Mining to provide a visibility and operational excellency

• Digital Workers enabling knowledge workers to do the work they need to

• Workflow and Case Management to automate and manage both strict and add-hoc processes

• Decision Management to organise and manage important agendas like risk management

• Master Data Management combined with Workflow to manage the data and access to them.

• Containerisation, modernisation of applications, primarilly with kubernetes/OpenShift in mind

• Created a Software Product Map, used in enablement of technical sales, regular sales and other new people across IBM.

I am really privileged to work with those beautiful organisations and customers on changing how the sales process looks like through really experiencing the Tech before opting to use it. Its also wonderful how co-creation helps the business and technology people alike to learn what are the possibilities and if the technology is a good match.

Working as a Technical Sales Software Architect with the focus on helping our clients to achieve their goals through enterprise grade software. In my role the main focus is given to the technical sales and architecture of the IBM Software stack, with the OpenShift Container Platform at the center of that all. We do further focus on data fabric, automation, integration, DevSecOps, observability, regulated workloads and more. In IBM I am fortunate enough to have many learning opportunities and I have couple of mentors helping me to grow.

Smaller highly professional team working on internal development as well as quite big projects with other Business Partners. The following are some of the highlights from my time in the company I gained the privilege to call my co-workers my friends and:

• Performed Analysis and Design of solutions for large customers and business partners across EMEA region

• Co-led the development work of our team and of external consultants on several projects, including time estimates, planning and architecture work

• Learned a lot about machine learning and created couple of Proof of Concepts using mainly Face Recognition as a safety mechanism.

• Prepared and presented demonstrations to various stakeholders on conferences, including WINS (World Institute for Nuclear Security) conference in Wien.

Working on opportunities from Central and Eastern Europe as Technical Presale person focusing on Case Management, Enterprise Content Management and Digitalisation. The following are some of the highlights from my time in the company:

• Gained support and recognition from World-Wide (WW) people, including WW Pre-Sales Manager, WW Sales Leader and WW Pre-Sales Leaders in IBM Analytics.

• Supported customers from Central and Eastern Europe both remotely and on-site.

As the first I was working as an internship student. After 3 months I have started to work as an trainee student on the position of IBM Technical PreSale. Demonstrations of the technology to customers and business partners, Proof of Concepts, Proof of Technologies, Development, Requests for Information and Proposals, all of that was a day to day business on the position. As a junior I was working under regular senior presale employees and helping them cover the technology questions and demonstrations into a deeper detail.
