Data Scientist
But wait, there's more! This is a motley collection of all kinds of things I worked on throughout the years.
These projects are related to my current hobbies.
I've been managing the Düsselgamers community since 2016. Originally the Düsseldorf Boardgamers Meetup Group, it has expanded beyond board games and is a large and vibrant community of all types of in-person games. Aside from managing the website, graphic design, discord and public relations, I also organize the bi-monthly Roleplaying Jam event.
I have had personal websites for over 20 years, and these got me into coding and web design. Since quitting most social media, I tend to blog more again - mostly my thoughts about media that I consume.
With a high school diploma and an apprenticeship in design, I sometimes still design stuff.
Creating player aids for board games is a hobby of mine, which has taught me valueable skills - first and foremost in the usage of InDesign, but also in the field of UX writing, as writing texts concisely and comprehensively on such limited space is quite a challenge.
I made my own, highly personalized character sheet for the DnD 5e campaign Raiders of the Serpent Sea using InDesign.
For the master's students' conference "Breaking Boundaries" in 2016, I designed and created the poster (in Photoshop) and the printed schedule (in InDesign). Organising and presenting at the conference was part of the MA curriculum.
I created this logo for the student's office of the Department of English Studies using Illustrator.
From Oct 2015 to Mar 2017 I worked on several e-learning projects for the Department of English Studies at Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf.
The Timelines to Visualize Medieval English History was a project conceived by me and funded by the E-Learning Förderfonds in 2016/2017 at Heinrich-Heine-Universität during my time as a research assistant in the Department of Medieval English Studies (Anglistik I).
I created the database, coded the front-end, and with the help of a student assistant, wrote texts with information relevant for the basic module in Medieval English Studies.
For this project I was one of two student assistants who oversaw the creation and contributed to the ILIAS e-learning module "The English Novel" for Anglistik IV. The project was funded by the E-Learning Förderfonds and run by Friedrich-K. Unterweg.
This module was a follow-up module to "The English Novel" with a focous on drama, also funded by the E-Learning Förderfonds and overseen by Friedrich-K. Unterweg. In this module, took a project management role and I oversaw the creation of content for this ILIAS module, while also contributing sub-modules.
