Jan Dryk
I'm an experienced leader with a passion for technology. During the day, I'm utilizing my experience with software engineering and agile ways of working to shape teams into highly-performing product organization. At night I enjoy learning about new programming languages and frameworks and building small projects. This technical expertise helps me to be a better leader, and guide the developers to be more effective.
