Reference Materials and Practical Resources
This section contains selected materials that expand on how I approach technology leadership, decision-making, and governance. You will find presentations, short papers, practical guides, and links to recorded talks that explain key concepts in more detail. Some of these materials were created within Gehtsoft USA, the engineering company I founded and lead. They reflect not only stated principles, but how those principles are implemented in real projects and real delivery environments. These resources include CTOx frameworks, AI governance guides, modernization presentations, and practical materials used in real technology leadership engagements.
Way of Working for Product Development
These slides explain the operating principles behind my approach to technology leadership in complex, high-stakes environments. They focus on goal clarity, explicit trade-offs, continuous risk awareness, and early detection of mistakes. The material shows how decisions are made under uncertainty, how responsibilities are clarified across teams, and when it is necessary to pause or stop rather than continue on weak assumptions. For a CTOx role, this framework defines how to protect time, budget, and credibility while still enabling ambitious goals.
How to Deal with Legacy Software?
These slides outline a business-first approach to modernization and technology leadership. They cover how to align priorities using Evidence-Based Management, identify real constraints before investing, engage stakeholders early, and modernize gradually without disrupting operations. Special attention is given to AI governance, risk exposure, and investment trade-offs. The material reflects the mindset critical for a CTOx role: clarity before commitment, decisions grounded in constraints, and steady progress that leadership can justify and defend.
