Bio
Maithili Pai
Christian is a sorted, mature people first leader. I worked with Christian as a group PM on the education tribe at Amboss. We worked together as a team, being two sides of the PM/EM coin. I could always count on him for anything, and it really made my life so much easier having him on the team. He is dependable, sorted, keenly curious and boosts the people around him. Christian is one of the few managers I've seen who really champions their team. He brought so much predictability into an unpredictable environment, for which I will always be grateful. I really enjoyed working with him, and I hope we get to work together and build products together someday :)

Christian is by far one of the best software developers and system architects I have ever met in my live. Working with him means that you have your very own "Scotty" who will definitely improve your warp-speed. What makes Christian special is that he is thinking in detail about the project he is working on and asking the right questions. This is avoiding extra work for his colleagues and keeps your plan on the track. Personally it's a pleasure to work with him. Sadly he left Infernum to jump into a new challenge.
