About

I'm working as a member of the Business Intelligence team at the games company Bigpoint to support the company to get better knowledge about games and customers. My main interests are PHP, SQL, data backends and game development. I have a good understanding of KPIs and the underlying technical structures. The requirements and tasks of various departments such as business intelligence, games, CRM, marketing or payment are well-known to me. It is normal for me to discuss with stakeholders the requirements and to advise them. I have experience in project-based work as well as in ad hoc inquiries which require pragmatic solutions.
