What many people don’t expect: I am a career changer.
Before moving into IT, I spent over 17 years working in banking and finance. Changing careers after so many years required courage and a willingness to step into something completely new. Looking back, it was absolutely worth it.
Today, I combine the analytical mindset and precision I developed in banking with my passion for software quality. My background allows me to look at systems holistically, understand structured processes quickly, and ask the right questions when something doesn’t quite add up.
I genuinely enjoy bringing order to complexity.
There is something deeply satisfying about transforming scattered requirements and intricate workflows into a clear, structured, and reliable overall process. The best moment in a project is when everything comes together—when I know that users can navigate the system safely and reach their goals without confusion.
My working style reflects who I am: precise, solution-oriented, and communicative. I believe quality is never a coincidence. It is the result of clear thinking, structured work, and the courage to question things critically.
During intensive project phases, I rely on small routines and conscious breaks to stay focused. But there is also another side to me.
Outside of work, you will most likely find me dancing Salsa and Bachata—my great passion. Dance gives me energy, creativity, and joy. It is the perfect counterbalance to analytical work.
I also love traveling and engaging in deep conversations. With great dedication, I run a book club for highly sensitive people, creating a space where we exchange thoughts on profound literature and explore meaningful topics together. For me, growth is not only professional, it is also personal.
Especially for women thinking about changing careers or entering IT, I would like to say:
You don’t have to be loud to be strong.
You don’t have to know everything from the beginning.
Competence grows step by step, through curiosity, consistency, and the courage to begin.
