Langjährige Erfahrung im Austausch mit Entwicklern, Fachbereichen und Anwendern, remote / on-site. Branchenkenntnisse aus Warenwirtschaft & Logistik, E-Commerce, Nutzfahrzeuge, Gesundheitswesen (Abrechnungssysteme, Messdaten), Forschung, Öffentlicher Dienst, Energiewirtschaft, Versicherung, Real Estate, Kreativbranche.
Die bisherigen Projekte erforderten eine selbstständige und sorgfältige Einarbeitung in neue Themengebiete sowie eine analytische, strukturierte Vorgehensweise, damit auch komplexe Systemzusammenhänge dargestellt, getestet und vermittelt werden konnten. Mitwirkung in Teams von 3 bis über 30 Personen und Projekten in Größenordnung mehrerer hundert Projekttage. Projekte mit einer Mischung aus Softwaretest, Datenanalyse und Visualisierung sind für mich von besonderem Interesse.
