Five years ago, I was an intern who thought he blew a phone call. Today I design digital tax systems with a global scope. The topics have become more complex, the responsibility greater, and the ambition a different one — not just building what's asked for, but shaping what's needed. Thank you for five amazing years Felicia Olson, Dena Dittrich, Michael Natterer and Matthias Jattke — you shaped this journey. And thank you to the entire RÖDL team in the US and Germany for the trust and the freedom to do things differently. What these five years have taught me: The best technical solution is worthless without understanding the domain it serves. Here's to the next five.
