🧭 Product ownership
Product strategy, roadmaps and stakeholder management for developer platforms — most recently as PO of an internal developer platform at a ~400,000-employee corporation.
FRanjo RUpčić · Information Technology
I build platforms and teams that make developers productive.
Product owner, team lead and hands-on architect — 19 years from embedded ECUs to cloud platforms.
19 years of experience, without gaps
3 industries: automotive, medtech, enterprise IT
13 people in the largest team led (international)
8 programming languages, from C to Python/TypeScript
3 companies where I introduced agile methods
2 conference talks as a speaker (platform engineering)
What defines me
Strategy and engineering — both, not either-or
🤝 Leadership
Cross-functional, international teams of up to 13 people — empathetic, people-first, with an agile DNA since 2011. I introduced Scrum and Kanban at three companies.
⚙️ Hands-on architecture
From embedded C on ECUs to Python backends and Kubernetes: I can join the teams I lead in the engine room at any time.
