I'm Alexander Thiel

CTO, advisor. Let's build together.

About Me

I love solving complex problems in high-performing environments by attracting top talent and creating space to be awesome. I scaled several startups as CTO and enjoy occasional project work to broaden my horizon.

I love org building as much as hands-on architecture and software engineering. Right now, I'm exploring interim tech management. Let's talk about your challenges and solve them together. If the setup is right, I'm open to permanent employment.

Executive tech management

I translate company strategy into product and/or tech strategy and an aligned and fast-moving tech org. I jump on to whatever needs fixing while steadily building out the machine.

Top talent

One of my favorite activities is attracting super-smart people and making sure they can work together: Tech management is cat herding and the best people have high demands.

Culture & process

Products are crystallizations of their producer's communication structures, including culture & process. Culture and process improvements are usually far more efficient than hiring.

Mentoring

I routinely mentor (and often coach) members of my teams as well as other founders and managers. It adds value and broadens my perspective.

Architecture & Code

Startups need software that fits their growth. I've built prototypes, led the long-term migration and refactoring projects and built cuting-edge reactive microservice architectures.

Technology stack

I've worked with most modern SaaS technologies and built everything needed to make an application run and scale at high quality. Check out my technology stack at StackShare.
