Johannes Bornhold — Computer Scientist

Independent software engineer and consultant, self-employed since 2006. Managing director of bo-tech GmbH & Co. KG since 2009.

20 years of experience across software development, engineering leadership, and infrastructure — from hands-on backend development to building and leading technology organizations of ~150 people.

What I do

  • Software development and architecture
  • Engineering leadership — interim VP Engineering, fractional CTO
  • Infrastructure and platform engineering
  • Team coaching — joining teams hands-on to build capability and mature practices, until the team carries forward on its own

How I work

I join teams as a working member, not as an outside advisor. This means I see the real problems — the ones that don't surface in status meetings — and I lead by example rather than by instruction. Teams grow stronger because they learn through working together, not through presentations.
