Summary
Alexa Schlegel is a Search Engine Optimization Analyst and web developer based in Berlin with 11 years of experience blending computer science rigor and human-centered design. She pairs technical front-end skills (HTML/CSS, SASS, AngularJS) and UX/UI experience from roles at Capgemini and freelance work with research expertise from multiple positions at Freie Universität Berlin. Currently driving SEO at Verlag Der Tagesspiegel, she brings a data-informed approach to improving discoverability while retaining strong usability sensibilities from her HCI and Design Thinking training.
