Katrin’s README

Hi, I am Katrin! Biochemist by training, but IT generalist by choice. Having used Git in its various forms since 2014, I’m keen diving deeper into the GitLab-surrounding technologies and applications.

My working style

I tend to jump in quickly upon recognizing a task I can complete, going into sleuthing-around-logs-and-code mode when necessary.

Communicating with me

I enjoy working asynchronously via issues and MRs. Particularly also with GitLab’s To Do function. Please use @katrinleinweber liberally.

For urgent, synchronous communication, I’m fine with Slack or Zoom, but please be sure it is really urgent.

E-mails are not a good choice, as I check them only rarely, some times not even once a week.

Weaknesses

  • Too little stepping-back-and-seeing-the-big picture, when working on urgent tasks.
  • Good ideas sometimes come to me only after a good night’s sleep.

Strengths

Good ideas come to me usually after a good night’s sleep, or a walk through the great outdoors.

Because I worked in different industries and contexts, I think I can rely on a broad base of experiences and problem-solving approaches.
