Hallo.

I'm Rike — Ulrike Exner if we're being formal. Manager at EY Technology Consulting in Berlin. Day to day that's Cloud and AI solution architecture, hands-on Software & DevOps engineering, with project leadership and business development woven in. On the side, I teach what I learn: workshops, talks, the occasional university lecture.
