Product Engineer — Berlin
I read the fine print.
Then I ship the product.
Product engineer who brings structured thinking to software — understanding stakeholders, mapping edge cases, shipping what matters.

About
The mindset transferred.
I spent five years in corporate law — reviewing contracts, running due diligence on real estate transactions, finding the clause that would blow up a deal six months later.
Now I build products. Different medium, same instinct: understand the problem before you commit to a solution. Map the edge cases. Consider the stakeholders. Then ship something that works.
