Summary

Recent graduate in Computer and Systems Sciences with several years of experience in customer-facing roles, leadership and operational responsibility. During my studies, I gained hands-on experience with JSON, REST APIs, Java, Python and SQL. Through my internship with Sixt Helpdesk, I also gained practical experience in IT support, troubleshooting and the implementation of new technical solutions. I am now looking to bring my operational and customer-facing experience together with my technical background, with a particular focus on implementation, integration and technical problemsolving.
