… Apart from Stephan’s technical skills, he is also a great leader, as all my teams enjoy working with him and learned to adopt state of the art practices increasing the company’s’ IT maturity. His positive attitude towards all obstacles helped the Mathemetrica Group partner with a US multinational.
Aldo Toranto
CEO Mathemetrica Group
Stephan joined our development team from the Netherlands and immediately made a positive impact and valuable contribution to the team developing a new Web based Pricing and Return Measurement application for the NAB.
He grew to become the Lead Developer and displayed diligence, experience and commitment in ensuring the team reached its objectives of delivering an extremely well received quality product for the User Group. An integral compnent of the Projects success, Stephan was easy to engage with to the point that the Business SME's felt comfortable in working directly with him to ensure alignment of understanding.
The application has also recieved external visibility being utilised by Microsoft as a Test Case for their Silverlight Application. I would highly recommend Stephan for application development and team leading activities.
Phil Gadzinski
CEO of “Risk Project Execution"
Stephan is an exceptional communicator who consistently excels at bridging the gap between technical teams, product owners, sales, and customers. His ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable insights ensures that both non-technical stakeholders and technical teams understand each other's needs. Whether he's leading cross-functional meetings or collaborating with clients, Stephan's clarity and approachability foster an environment of mutual understanding and alignment.
One of Stephan's key achievements was successfully delivering the complex and highly visible Dutch Single Identity project. Not only did he deliver it on time and with top-notch quality, but the success of this project also played a pivotal role in enabling OCLC to secure the highly competitive Dutch national tender for their public library technology platform.
In addition to his outstanding technical leadership, Stephan displayed remarkable foresight and cost efficiency by employing near-shore consultants in Portugal to help deliver the Single Identity project. This decision significantly reduced implementation costs without compromising quality, highlighting his ability to balance technical and financial priorities effectively.
Stephan's strong technical and architectural background gives him instant credibility with the engineering teams that he leads. His in-depth understanding of complex systems and architecture allows him to provide clear guidance, solve challenging problems, and lead with confidence. His technical expertise, combined with his communication and leadership skills, makes him invaluable to any organization.
T.J. Godsey
VP Technology OCLC
I have worked with Stephan on multiple projects at NAB. He has in depth knowledge of .net framework, IT practices and agile methods. He has single-handedly implemented SEPG model at NAB which allowed the standards to be set by very people on the ground. His involvement in .net and agile community is quite commendable, he always think for the people on the ground and try to ease the pain which technical people face everyday.
His work at ALM community also shows that he is all for people who believe in sharing culture.
I have learn a lot from Stephan and would not hesitate to recommend him for any .NET or Agile jobs. He is a God send to any team.
Vinay Tripathi
Founder of Spolib Group
... These initial actions and improvements allowed IntelligenceBank to increase Engineering staff,
setting up a third team and delegating line management responsibilities to team leads. Stephan
trained the teamleads to be successful in their newly created roles.
As a result of Stephans’ actions, the department headcount has been doubled, and due to
improved processes the feature delivery has increased even more than double, project
estimation variance dramatically reduced, production issues decreased overtime, and importantly
staff engagement and enablement has gone up significantly.
The company acquired a significant business deal with the Department of Justice NSW, which
Stephan led and delivered while mentoring his successor in the lead time before his departure.
I thank Stephan for his contributions and especially with his work turning the development teams
into a thriving area within the IntelligenceBank business, ready for us to continue to scale it up
and meet more exciting business demands. I’m available to have a conversation with Stephan’s
future employer if required.

Being able to participate in community based standards empowered me to fix things and improve the way I worked for our whole organization.

I still don’t know how you guys do it exactly, but there is a great ‘Vibe’ happening across the entire business. So, please do MORE of it!
Bob Lyons
CIO NAB Wholesale Banking
I worked with Stephan on a POC (windows 8 App) for the Internet banking in the National Australia bank based.
Stephan managed the POC and as a project manager showed a deep knowledge in Agile methodology practices and successful implementation. Stephan also utilized the Team Foundation Server infrastructure to be used as the Application Life Cycle Management tool for the project.
Beyond the project management, Stephan demonstrated a deep knowledge in all the technical aspects related to the project, based .NET development and JSON.
Finally I found Stephan as an easy going and pleasant to work with.
Carmel Halabe
Cloud Architect
I had the pleasure of working closely with Stephan for nearly a decade. Throughout that time, he consistently
demonstrated exceptional professionalism, technical capability, and leadership. Stephan has a rare ability
to combine deep technical insight with a genuine understanding of how technology impacts real-world users,
a quality that made him invaluable to our work in the health and wellness technology space.
He led an offshore team with calm efficiency, communicated clearly, and delivered high-quality outcomes
across complex projects involving cloud infrastructure and software integrations. Above all, Stephan is
reliable, collaborative, and brings both intellect and good humour to every challenge.
