Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndrea Doerr is a experienced Quality Manager and former Team Manager at Daimler AG with 11 years in IT and over seven years leading projects across healthcare, supply chain, e-commerce and consultancy. She brings a rare blend of hands-on software background (SharePoint, .NET, Java, Oracle/SQL) and rigorous project management skills—planning, risk/configuration control, SDLC and both Waterfall and Agile delivery. Andrea pairs enterprise delivery experience with client-facing strengths in proposals, SOWs, pre/post-sales and multicultural team leadership. Beyond corporate roles she contributes to high-profile open-source blockchain projects like Polkadot and Substrate, focusing on keystore, BEEFY and cryptographic primitives—evidence of attention to secure, low-level backend systems. Holding an MBA from Universität Stuttgart and seasoned in fixed-bid and T&M engagements, she is a pragmatic problem-solver who favors measurable process improvements and clear communication.
