Agile Coach & Scrum Master

Kandidát je bývalý vývojár v jazyku Java, ktorý v súčasnosti pracuje ako Scrum Master. Má 6 rokov skúseností s Javou a medzi jeho kľúčové technológie patria Spring, Hibernate, Spring Cloud, Maven, Git a verzovacie systémy. Jeho angličtina je na komunikatívnej úrovni, nemčinu študoval na Viedenskej univerzite, ale potreboval by ju oprášiť. Rád by sa zameral na oblasť financií, keďže k tomuto sektoru má momentálne najbližšie, ale je otvorený aj projektom v iných odvetviach.
