Tim Maaßen

In a division managed as a startup inside the company and focused on delivering innovative solutions to customers by using an agile mind- and toolset I am actively forming the technology portfolio and project guidelines to use for our newly established development approach.

Having internalized the agile methods I took part in multiple, short term projects using short sprints to deliver prototypes and MVPs to our customers, always focusing on the vision and the associated expectations for solutions to new, digital problems.

Taking a central role in the scrum teams always produced well-focused solutions with great customer feedback. I use these tasks develop my leadership and coordination skills to guide junior colleagues in the use of technologies and help senior colleagues with the use of agile methods.

As one of my responsibilities I saw it to develop a strong two-way knowledge sharing between junior and senior colleague, taking part in mentoring for students while also organizing guilds to boost the exchange of experience.

In six different interships I witnessed the many facettes of different departments of a multinational IT-company.

During my first year in Ratingen I focused on the technical aspects and the work of a technical consultant, working with SAP S/4 HANA.

In Auckland I began to more heavily integrate the business side into my daily business and created an analysis based on business intelligence for the workplace solutions of one of our biggest customers in New Zealand.

Back in Germany my bachelor thesis investigated the upcoming trends of the energy sector in Germany and I developed a maturity model for companies to evaluate their readiness for the future.
