About

Two fascinating worlds shape my professional career and my social commitment. As a Product Owner, I develop innovative software solutions for simulating airport processes and capacity planning. This role demands my expertise to a particular degree and allows me to fully utilize my skills in project management and product development. At the same time, I am passionately committed to promoting an inclusive society. Therefore, I actively involved in the development of community living projects for people with and without disabilities. For me, this is more than just a project. It is my heartfelt concern to foster participation and inclusion for all. This engagement motivates me to create positive change and contribute in a meaningful way.
