I was born in the United States and raised and educated in Germany. My work in Sales and Business Development with several German export and IT companies has taken me to Bogata, Arequipa, Santiago de Chile, Rio de Janerio, Miami and now back to Berlin, Germany. I am fluent in German, English, Spanish and Portuguese.
I studied a dual business bachelor and worked some years for german trading companies in Latin America. The last two years I had my own business in Miami, FL importing and distributing gourmet food products.
During the last few years, I have been working in different countries and travelling to interesting places all over the world as a trainee, an expatriate and then as an entrepreneur in the USA. Being multilingual helped during these assignments, and I even had the opportunity to learn more languages on my journeys.
I always had ideas to build and improve new products, but I had a lack of technical knowledge to actually code them. Hence, I decided to sign up in LeWagon, one of the leading coding bootcamps worldwide.
I am proficient in Ruby and Ruby on Rails, building smart web applications in a team during and as personal projects after the bootcamp. I also have experience using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, and with database technologies, such as MySQL and PostgreSQL.
