Jörn Dinkla

Software developer, architect & consultant — writing from over twenty‑five years in the field.

I have been working as a software developer, architect, and consultant for over 25 years. As a Lead Consultant at Thoughtworks, I help organizations build modern software products in an agile, secure, and reliable way.

I support teams methodically, technically, and personally—whether through coaching, architecture consulting, or hands-on pair programming.

I am a strong advocate of agile, TDD, CI/CD, DevOps practices, and Lean Thinking principles.
