Summary

Currently, I support my client EnBW as a Senior Scrum Master/PO Coach. This extensive project is the fourth I get to work on as a freelancer. People see me as an energetic personality who acts quickly and solution-focused to leave a positive impression with my clients. I have deep knowledge in agile environments, since SCRUM and ASPICE have been with me for more than 7 years. SAFe has also been a big topic in my work. In total, I bring over 10 years of experience in the IT industry. I am pleased to be working in the energy sector right now. I also have to note, surprisingly, that there are many parallels to software development in the automotive industry.
