About

I'm Peter. A human, living in Berlin.

My professional journey began in 2004 when I studied Computer Science, leading me to a role as a Frontend Engineer in 2008. Today with over 15 years in the industry, my career has evolved from hands-on programming to strategic leadership. This journey has equipped me with a mix of technical expertise, strategic insight, and leadership abilities, enabling me to guide teams and organisations through significant transitions.

I am experienced in:

Team Leadership: Managed team of up to 30 people; responsible for hiring, promotions, career planning, resource allocation, and restructuring

Product Development: Led cross-functional teams; prioritized initiatives based on business value and complexity; managed key stakeholders

Communication: Reported to top management; translated strategic guidance for team members; company-wide communication

Cost consciousness: Reduced EyeEm hosting costs by 60%; planned and executed software solutions to leverage cloud cost effectiveness

AI/ML: Participated in data collection and model training; productionized models for platform-wide use

Crisis Management: Managed internal and external stakeholders during insolvency; led insolvency reorganization efforts

Culture Development: Organized internal events; spearheaded sustainability initiatives; actively shaped company culture and diversity efforts; represented the company at conferences and events

Outside of work, my thoughts often wander to the next great cup of coffee and planning travels with my wife, Alexandra. These moments away from the tech world recharge me and offer fresh perspectives.

I've written a short handbook that might help you to work with me.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my journey. I'm looking forward to what the future holds and the impact we can make together. Want to connect?
