Project Overview

Digital Transformation in the Public Sector

As Technical Project Lead at Materna, I guided the modernization of a form for agricultural subsidy applications in the public sector. I focused on establishing sustainable structures, improving team collaboration, and aligning technical and functional goals across departments. The project reflects pragmatic renewal, clear communication, and long-term impact.


In this project, I was responsible for technically leading the evolution of a complex digital system used in the public sector to manage agricultural subsidies. The goal was to modernize and stabilize an aged platform that had grown over years – without disrupting ongoing operations.

I took over from a seasoned project lead close to retirement.

"When you first explained your plans, I thought: Let the young guy talk. But you really surprised me – in a good way." -- Project Manager

My approach focused on building long-term maintainability into the project: introducing code reviews, improving communication, and encouraging quality-focused routines – all without leaving anyone behind.

At the same time, I acted as a bridge between technical teams, the client’s management, and domain experts. By translating between tech and business, I helped align expectations and supported the team through to deployment.
