The initial production of new products as well as the requirements that have to be met and also the troubleshooting of existing products are among the challenges of my daily work. My no-nonsense attitude helps me to stay calm and not lose focus even when things get tight sometimes.

What motivates me?

The independent work and the great support of my work colleagues.

What are essential gadgets?

In any case EXACT and a reasonable laptop where our "developer add-ins" work.
