CTO @ foodpanda (by Delivery Hero SE) | ex Amazon, Facebook
As the Chief Technology Officer at foodpanda, I lead the engineering vision and strategy of one of the world's largest food delivery platforms, serving million customers across 21 countries. I joined foodpanda in 2020 and became the CTO in 2023 after successfully launching new products and services that had global impact, such as pandacare, pandago, panda ads and vendor portal. With over 15 years of experience in software development and engineering management, I have a proven track record of building high-performing teams, delivering scalable distributed systems, and driving innovation and growth in fast-paced environments. I have worked at leading tech companies such as Amazon Web Services and Facebook/Meta, where I managed multiple engineering organizations in a variety of fields/domains. I hold several patents that I obtained during that time. I am passionate about solving complex problems, creating value for customers and stakeholders, and empowering engineers to excel.

Amazon CloudWatch announced support for percentiles on CloudWatch Metrics
November 1, 2016 – Present
Amazon CloudWatch announced support for percentiles on CloudWatch Metrics. This new capability allows customers to visualize and alarm on any percentile of an AWS or custom metric. CloudWatch Metrics already supports statistics such as average, minimum or maximum, which are useful for many metrics. Percentiles are particularly useful when applied to metrics that exhibit large variances. They also help customers understand the distribution of a metric, and can be critical to understand outliers or unusual metric behaviors. Customers can now visualize and alarm on p90, p95, p99, p99.9 or any other percentile. Percentile metrics can also be accessed using the CloudWatch console, SDK or API My team owns and supports the datastores that stores the most recent data with percentile support.
CloudWatch plugin for collectd
October 1, 2016 – Present
The CloudWatch collectd plugin is a publishing extension for collectd, an open source statistic gathering daemon. With our extension all configured collectd metrics are automatically published to CloudWatch. This plugin allows monitoring of servers and applications within and outside of EC2 instances. The plugin offers additional functionality for EC2 customers such as automatic discovery of Instance ID and AWS region.
Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's career trajectory shows a strong preference for large, established tech companies (Amazon, Facebook, Thales) and high-growth environments (foodpanda). Their project descriptions, while detailed, are primarily focused on backend systems and infrastructure, with no explicit mention of Android development. This suggests a potential mismatch with a dedicated 'Android Developer' role, which typically requires hands-on mobile development expertise. The breadth of experience is impressive for a leadership role, but less aligned with a specific mobile development IC position.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate demonstrates strong leadership, strategic planning, and team development skills. Their experience in managing international teams and driving product roadmaps indicates excellent operational fit for senior leadership roles. The descriptions highlight problem-solving, stakeholder management, and a focus on delivering impactful solutions.
