After working for Hanse Ventures, I worked as a freelancer mainly doing web application development for clients as well as working on open source projects of my own. My work mostly involves Ruby, Javascript and RoR in addition to the 'standard' front-end technologies.
I worked as a Rails developer at "Klinikumplus", which is a venture of the Hanse Ventures incubator in Hamburg, Germany. The application development we did was very Rails intensive with occasional front-end work. Among other things we created an internal CRM.
Grameen Bank is the world’s largest Microcredit bank. As an international intern, I mostly functioned like an internal research assistant and hence, was able to get acquainted with many of the numerous operations that Grammen Bank is composed of.
PWC's transaction services are similar to M&A operations. I worked in the division for the financial services industry. For the most part I did extensive Industry analysis, created detailed profiles of financial companies and institutions and worked on sell-side pitches.
Rothgordt & Cie. is a Munich-based management-consulting and M&A boutique targeting German "Mittelstand" companies. I was employed in several projects that were running simultaneously and most of my work was that of an Analyst.
