SOFTWARE ARCHITECT AT AGILLIC, COPENHAGEN (2013-09 – 2014-03)
I was leading a team of developers and was a member of a group of Software Architects building the next generation of recommender system for Digital Marketing And Online Campaign Management Systems.

The system was using a set of competing recommenders for the best recommendations possible by using semantics, geo-location tagging and user profile history built over time. SCRUM was heavily used and I also worked as a Scrum Master for the team. We used Sprint cycles of three weeks per sprint and working features were delievered at the end of each sprint.

Each Sprint was three weeks long, and I have been involved in projects that were finished within a single sprint or spanned multiple sprints from inception to completion.
