<aside> 💡 At Bookbot, I lead the team that builds the internal systems that hundreds of our employees use every day. We customize internal apps, invent improvements, and automate operational processes to continually streamline the work of receiving and shipping books.

<aside> 💼 Before Boobot I had my own little café with a flower studio - I programmed my own system for booking workshops, cash register, accounting records. It was quite fun. I still have a coffee machine from the year 1963, which I restored at the time. You've never had better coffee. I also spent some time at the Josef Hotel, where I coordinated things like remote checkin/checkout integration with about five stakeholders.

I'm proud of my team probably every day. Even if things don't go well, I know that the next day we'll get through it. However, the last time I was most pleased was when we overhauled the process on the book intake. It involves using a barcode scanner at the photo counter to scan the filing label on a package that a customer has sent to us. The system links that to the customer in a flash and we know we're loading the books into the right account. We were able to plan well at the time for a gradual transition from another process where everything went smoothly and we didn't get the books mixed up.
I'd like to know that too :) They still come to work, so I guess it's not that bad. Maybe it's the fact that I often ask them when something is going to be done and we're going to put it out into the world. Because I can never wait to see when a new feature is ready to go live.
