Project Overview

My career started in strategy and operations at Deutsche Bank, where I learned how large organizations think about risk, scale, and operational excellence. This foundation informs how I approach technical decisions today.

What I Did

Worked in strategy and operations, developing analytical frameworks for business decisions:

  • Strategic Analysis: Built financial models and analyses to support major business decisions
  • Process Optimization: Identified and implemented efficiency improvements across operational workflows
  • Cross-Functional Projects: Led initiatives requiring coordination across multiple departments and geographies
  • Executive Communication: Developed presentations and recommendations for senior leadership

Why This Matters

This background gives me perspective that pure technologists often lack:

  • Understanding unit economics and how technical decisions impact business outcomes
  • Experience with enterprise requirements - compliance, audit, documentation standards
  • Communication skills for non-technical stakeholders - investors, executives, customers
  • Appreciation for operational excellence and building things that last

The analytical rigor from this experience stuck with me. Every architecture decision I make considers not just technical merits but business implications.
