About

A generalist working the seam between systems and the reasons for them.

Ambitious, curious, global, competitive, with a habit of figuring things out.

01 — Who I am

A little about me.

Value is the only currency.

Over the fence.

Build what matters.

Personality matters.

Hi, I'm Denis Cercasin, a Business Information Systems student at HWR Berlin. I work somewhere between technology and business, with a focus on understanding problems properly before trying to solve them.

I grew up in Moldova and have studied in Germany, Switzerland, Australia, and Singapore. New places, new systems, new people. I like getting into unfamiliar environments and figuring them out quickly.

My work has taken me from process automation at Mercedes Benz to process mining and automation at SAP, alongside university projects in software, data, cybersecurity, and machine learning. Different tools, same principle: build something useful.

I plan to achieve a lot. Even better if we achieve some of it together.

How I like to work.

I

Lock in and stay humble

Do the work, keep learning, let the results speak.

II

Fail fast

Try it, break it, learn from it, improve it.

III

Hard work beats all work

Consistency gets further than occasional brilliance.

IV

Keep it simple

If it needs too much explaining, it is probably too complicated.
