About Me
Engineering Manager · Platform Engineering · Tradebyte
Hi, I am Niklas. 👋
I'm an Engineering Manager at Tradebyte (Zalando Group), leading a team of 10 building our Internal Developer Platform. We make life easier for engineering teams by providing the tools and infrastructure they need to ship great software.
I care about ownership, honesty, and building things that actually help people. When I'm not wrangling AWS costs or leadership challenges, you'll find me reading, listening to podcasts, or tinkering with side projects.
