My real qualification for this job
I always challenge the status quo.
I am pragmatic.
I strive to find new and better solutions for problems, while spending as little money as possible.
I work best as part of a team – I love creating and improving concepts as part of a group.
What I am particularly good at
Automotive research: I have run numerous studies for car OEMs and have tested more than a hundred different car models
E-Commerce research: I have worked as an in-house UX consultant at eBay for nearly 10 years
The notorious fun facts you need to have on such a page
Before starting in UX, I had many other jobs: I was an IT admin for a large government organization, gardener, driver, physical therapist assistant, and furniture mover.
I play pen & paper role-playing games – it’s one of those things that gets better with age.
I own a working 486 computer that I built from parts in 2018 just to play 1990s computer games with glorious Roland MT32 sound again.
