After having worked as a software engineer for the TU-Berlin, I went into the field of mobile app development, starting at emotion touch GmbH, where I developed multiple native apps for Android and Windows 8.
Then I switched to Onefootball, one of the biggest football apps in the world, with more than 60 employees and around 5 million monthly active users, to help them with their android app. During this time we were awarded the titles "Editors' Choice" and "Top Developer" by Google.
As the team grew, our CTO noticed that I have a neck for managing engineers as well as building software, which led him to make me the android lead. Soon after, I was even asked to shape, facilitate and manage the development process for the whole engineering team with more than 20 engineers as well as their collaboration with the design and product teams.
In this time I basically served as the right hand of the CTO, overseeing and facilitating the process and the day to day work. This also included ensuring the right communication between stakeholders, solving conflicts and leading meetings like retrospectives, post mortems and sprint planings, which are vital for a well tuned agile workflow.
