‍

In which function do you work at linkyard and how will your work look like?

Project Manager / Business Analyst Requirements Engineer / ICT Consultant

Describe your background.

I studied Business Informatics at the University of Augsburg near Munich and did half of my Master's degree in Berlin and half at the Polytechnic University of Valencia. During my studies in Valencia, I already took on my first programming projects for SMEs, which is why I later founded a start-up in the field of web development and online marketing. After about 1.5 years of working independently, I moved to Barcelona and joined Sopra Steria. Here I worked mainly as a Java Spring Developer before moving to Zurich. In Zurich, I worked in various roles at medium to very large companies, such as Accenture. I was both a consultant and an IT project manager before moving to linkyard.

How would you describe yourself in one sentence?

Funny, outgoing and a good friend with an always open ear.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

I have many different hobbies: beach volleyball, bachata/salsa dancing, crossfit, skiing, tennis and I also enjoy going out with friends or travelling.

Cornflakes or milk in the bowl first?

First pour the cornflakes and then carefully the milk into the bowl so that there is no mess (which I would then have to clean).
