Coach and trainer – helping teams grow technically
Daniel helps people and teams grow technically: personally trained around 150 developers, team coach at Stadtwerke München, coaching on development processes and agile ways of working – with a trainer certification (IHK) and a Scrum Master certificate.
His standard is clarity: he explains things so they stick and builds material so that others can teach with it too. To him, coaching also means making himself unnecessary.
Today he mostly coaches the move to AI-assisted development – individual colleagues as well as whole teams.
