Summary

Taking initiative, being engaged, and a high level of independence are part of my daily interactions with colleagues and clients. By involving everyone (functional contacts, developers, the environment team, project management, product owners, etc.), I ensure the highest quality of the product. In addition to a solution-oriented and structured way of working, I am known for my reliability and strong motivation. Thanks to my strong team spirit, I enjoy diving into new contexts quickly and easily.
