Occupation

05/2022 - 02/2023 self employeed, Potsdam+Berlin

An attempt at building a leadership coaching business. Got 1 customer, but the project turned out to be a greater success in the area of teaching programming than coaching leadership. In some ways that might have layed the groundwork for my current activities in game development and volunteer teaching, which are both pretty fulfilling and feel more in alignment with my purpose and skills.

05/2021 - 05/2022 In search of self, Heidelberg+Potsdam

In this time I did a lot of different trainings, workshops, online courses and art projects and grew my foundation beyond my developer experience in business, coaching, agile, art and even acting domains.

06/2020 - 04/2021 Senior Software Engineer, Walldorf

As part of a diverse team of Red Hat (my employer), SAP, and IBM people, we integrated a new virtual machine technology (kubevirt) into our existing Kubernetes (Openshift) tech stacks.

06/2019 - 05/2020 Senior Openshift Consultant, Munich, Remote

I went to customers and helped plan and install Openshift (the Red Hat Kubernetes) environments.

03/2017 - 05/2019 Software Engineer, Walldorf

Coming in as Python tooling developer, I quickly adopted to the new trend and worked with my team to integrate our distributed database landscape into the growing Kubernetes world.
