Another coffee enthusiast

We are pleased to welcome Steffen Ramm as the new Product Owner at fluidmobile. He appreciates the Batista qualities of our Feelgood Manager Tom, but also has the portafilter machine in the fluid kitchen immediately under control. We’re sure to enjoy an espresso, latte or French press with him in our kitchen or on the roof terrace.

Above all, we are delighted to have gained active and experienced support for our project teams in Steffen. As a product owner, he uses his X-ray vision to scrutinize all processes. He ensures that everything runs smoothly and that communication is pleasant for both the customer and the team. Whether it’s because of his likeable nature or the fact that he is a certified Serum Master – a big win for fluid and a great start to 2022!

fluid interview

In the following short statements, Steffen talks about his passion for processes and why he finds passwords with O and I rather suboptimal. Enjoy the fluid interview.

1. WHEN DID YOU JOIN FLUIDMOBILE AND WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU DO HERE?

I’ve been on board since 01.02.2022. As a Key Account/Product Owner in our iOS team, I am responsible for sprint planning and content as well as communication with our clients.

2. WHY DO YOU ENJOY YOUR WORK

I love the diversity of my range of tasks. I can bring in aspects of the Scrum Master, the Product Owner and the Key Account. I have the feeling that I can contribute and expand my knowledge optimally here and create a product that really helps people.

3. DESCRIBE YOUR FIRST FEW WEEKS AT THE FLUID IN TWO OR THREE SENTENCES OR JUST A FEW KEYWORDS.

I’ll start with the first few days: Of course, everything was new: faces, processes, the tasks. Also the opportunity to finally work with colleagues on site again – because I had previously been working from home for almost a year due to coronavirus. I can now see the challenges more clearly and I enjoy getting involved and trying out new topics.

4. HOW DO YOU GET YOUR WORKING DAY OFF TO THE PERFECT START?

The perfect day likes to start early, with appropriate rest and the opportunity to plan the day. If I’m served a croissant and a latte with it, I’m in 7th heaven 🙂

5. ARE YOU MORE OF A “HOME OFFICE” TEAM OR AN “OFFICE” TEAM (REGARDLESS OF CURRENT AND FUTURE PANDEMICS)?

I can do both – currently and especially during my induction, I’m part of the “Office” team and enjoy being able to concentrate on my work and getting to know my colleagues and processes without any interruptions.

6. HOW DO YOU ALWAYS MAKE YOURSELF SMILE?

I am a friend of black humor. Accordingly, it always works well with movie quotes, articles from the Postillon or – if all else fails – I watch the scene from “Hot Rod” in which the main character falls down a mountain for what feels like 10 minutes. That always works.

7. IF YOU COULD DO ANYTHING WITHOUT ANY NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES FOR YOURSELF OR OTHER PEOPLE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Against the backdrop of current events in Ukraine, this would be my first thought: I would like to stop any aggression against others. With a twinkle in my eye I think of various pageants where the greatest wish is always “world peace”…but in fact everything else fades into the background before the current events…

8. WHAT IS YOUR PREFERRED MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK?

The first few days I came by car – including the search for a parking space and traffic chaos. I then found a great route along the Alb by bike, which I now enjoy every day. And I’m pleased that I get a lot of exercise as a result.

9. WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR MOST UNUSUAL JOB SO FAR?

I was employed as a school reporter in my home town – so I wrote articles there and also took photos. Back then I used an SLR camera and Ilford films, which I also developed and exposed myself.

10. WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

I am enthusiastic about things and processes that are simply “round”. When I can see that someone has really thought about it and the product or process takes all eventualities into account and it simply feels “good”. In other words: If I have to type in a given password that contains an “I” or an “O”, I might freak out.

Welcome to the fluid family, Steffen!
