Summary
Stephanie Simms is a senior project manager and seasoned technologist with a decade of experience delivering complex SaaS and content platforms across enterprise and research settings. With a PhD in archaeology and hands-on full‑stack training, she uniquely blends rigorous social‑science research methods with technical delivery—driving product strategy, data migrations, and analytics for multinational teams. She has led distributed engineering and editorial teams to launch and scale open‑source and cloud services (notably DMPTool 2.0 and Contentful deployments), improving user success and cutting support issues through data‑driven redesigns. Stephanie excels at bridging stakeholder needs and technical constraints, routinely managing multiple concurrent clients and customizing BI, reporting, and governance workflows. Based in Berlin, she pairs practical engineering skills (Postgres, REST APIs, SQL, testing) with sustainability and ESG training to inform long‑term product strategy. An uncommon combination of field‑project leadership and enterprise implementation gives her a proven knack for translating messy, cross‑cultural requirements into robust, auditable systems.
