I give everything to build teams and products that put people first, make the most of data, and generate real added value.
To achieve this, I gathered various expertise, e.g. as full-stack software developer, UX researcher, or product owner (I’m even an ex-civil servant!) – and I learnt where I could, e.g. at Harvard or Germany’s first Digital Ministry and its government start-up “byte”.
I’ll utilize all that to build successful products that make your institution the best version of itself.
Working in the government start-up “byte” taught me to find pragmatic, fast ways to move forward, even in complex and political stakeholder situations.
Tirelessly persistent.
If I’m convinced about something, I will certainly not retire until a good solution is found and implemented. If I’m not convinced, I’m the wrong person – and will tell you that.
Contagiously optimistic.*
It’s not that I don’t like grantln (ɡ̥rɑnd̥ːl̩n, Bavarian: grumble), it just doesn’t really solve anything. Naive optimism is out of place, a non-surrendering one is my tool to make a change.
*this one can be annoying – I’ll try to pull myself together.
Favorite fail
During my bachelor’s, established a cooperation with the student app “Jodel” to display reading room capacities there, we were all hyped and ready to go – forgot that we would, in fact, need a library to be interested as well and did not find a single one that was. 🤦
