Urs Martini
Director Engineering at Universal Music Group
I've been working in, building and managing agile software development teams in various startups and scale-ups in the past years. I'm responsible to hire the right people and then get out of their ways to let them do their magic without leaving them alone. I strongly believe in the power of agile principles, TDD, pair-programming and the beauty of code. I learned from the great people I am working with that all this goes together with business goals, not against them.
I myself have a strong software development and management background, coding for fun and profit since 25 years in various fields and languages (backend, frontend, desktop-clients, linux-administration and a lot more).
I love to learn from the experts around me and form a team that is working as frictionless as possible to create awesome things.
I've turned towards the management track since many years to build bridges between pure engineers and business people.
