Areas curious about: blockchain, education, social apps and games.
I like to use code to solve societal problems and increase impact, or to solve business problems and increase profit. For example, for a previous employer I increased their revenue significantly by coming up with the idea and showcasing that it is possible to serve tasteful ads to people using adblockers (tasteful: the biggest premium brands of my country creating elaborate designs for the holidays). Societal impact has mostly been teaching code.
While I can be a coding machine cranking out features, it is less suited to my skills since my value is best added when I think along with business and marketing teams on a strategic level and then implement the proposed solution.
Technologies: JavaScript, ReactJS, Python
Technologies I like (but a bit rusty): C++, C#, Java
Background: psychology (bachelor), business informatics (bachelor), game studies (master), computer science (research master, security specialization)
Remote: yes
Willing to relocate: possible for USA and Switzerland
