During my late school time and all through my university, I developed a Microsoft Excel based analytics tool for daily group work in classes given by my father. This was my first and a very valuable experience in creating, extending and maintaining a software used in daily work.

Serendipitously, a friend of mine and I got the opportunity to develop a PHP based platform used for giving feedback to participants of a research study for the German Institute for International Educational Research (DIPF). We created, extended and maintained the platform in three phases and successfully delivered all the features needed.
Without knowing we already used so to say agile methods to test different approaches. Already then, I felt comfortable to do customer communication and negotiations.

In 2015 Kiwigrid won a project focused on intelligent charging of electric vehicles by BMW. I lead the team in the role of the Product Owner and part time ScrumMaster. The solution was delivered in time and budget and stands out in my experience as large-scale product development embedded in a large co-operation.

After a couple of exiting months at DevBoost, the world of energy management and renewable energy still wouldn't leave my thoughts. In December 2017 I decided to rejoin Kiwigrid. This decision was only made possible after some important and fundamental changes where implemented at Kiwigrid. I am confident that this new path will lead Kiwigrid to great success.
