Summary
I entered the automotive industry as an IT project manager and business analyst. In this role, I worked worldwide on software solutions for demand planning, engineering, and sales. My analytical thinking, strong data affinity, social skills, teamwork, and organizational talent proved invaluable. Since I greatly enjoy the technical and organizational leadership of IT projects, coordinating between different business units and developers, and managing complex data sets, in September 2023 I decided to return to my professional roots.
I also bring personal competencies that I developed in recent years as a professional strategy gamer. As one of the top 8 players worldwide in a strategy game, I learned to continuously optimize my workflow and deliver outstanding performance under pressure. These experiences have given me a structured, disciplined, and independent working style that I would like to contribute to your company in the future. Additionally, I have gained practical experience in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and large language models (LLM).
