With roots in PowerShell automation and an unhealthy fascination with studio technology, Lena lost herself somewhere between DevOps thinking, cable management, and M365 multi-tenancy—and decided to just stay there. She spends her days automating processes, keeping infrastructure running, and building things that should be simple but, of course, never are.

Outside of work, she claims to have no hobbies. However, that's only true until you hear her 3D printer, which usually has more to do than she does.
