Back to original languageAbout Tobias
After my computer science studies at RWTH Aachen, I completed my doctorate at the Center for Learning and Knowledge Management and the Chair of Computer Science in Mechanical Engineering.
For over 25 years, I have been involved in both classic and agile IT projects. For the past 16 years, I have regularly taken on line functions as a freelance expert – particularly as an IT Project Manager, Business Analyst, and Product Owner.
I have broad industry knowledge ranging from infrastructure to logistics, tourism, and public services.
I can quickly familiarize myself with new topics and act proactively and with discipline.
