About

I am an IT professional based in Berlin with a background in Physics and Computer Science, combining analytical rigor with hands-on experience in IT project management, application management, and digital infrastructure.

Over more than eight years managing IT operations and complex projects in a large institutional environment, I have developed a pragmatic understanding of what it takes to keep critical systems running — and how to modernize them without disruption. My work spans requirements engineering, vendor coordination, stakeholder alignment, and end-user support across organizations of up to 1,200 people.

My academic work touched on energy systems, smart grids, and critical infrastructure — domains where I bring both theoretical grounding and genuine interest. I am drawn to roles at the intersection of technical complexity and organizational impact.
