Skills
Leadership
Being a scout leader since the age of 15, I'm fortunate enough that leadership comes natural to me. I have led professional teams of 5+ people to success.
Strategy
I don't like competition. I build monopolies by lean development. And I'm working hard to learn faster than anyone else. It's this simple.
Creative
Creative fluency in: InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Balsamiq, iRise Studio, and some more. I love to create beautiful presentations with Powerpoint or Prezi.
Productivity
There are guys who find great joy in ticking off to-do-lists, who read Lifehacker on a daily basis, and finish projects always on time. I'm happy to be one of them.
MEthods
Since July 2013, I'm a certified Scrum Product Owner and a strong believer in agile development for online and offline projects. No wonder I also prefer lean growth.
Coding
Though not a developer by academic training, I'm familiar with HTML5, CSS, jQuery, and API communication. I see coding as a vital tool for creativity and self-expression.
