Your Name

Hey, I'm Sofija! 👋

Sofija has survived in the IT business for fifteen years and in motherhood for four.

ABOUT ME

I was a Product Manager passionate about crafting seamless user experiences, exploring the intersections of technology, creativity, and storytelling through product design, photography, and music. Now, I'm all of that—plus a mom of two kids and a cat, mastering the art of multitasking like a pro! 🥷

WORK

I’m a Product Manager with a PhD in Computer Science and over a decade of international experience across a range of industries — including power grid management, publishing, fire safety, and academic research. I’ve worked on cloud-based SaaS platforms, CRM systems, industrial SCADA applications, and AI/NLP research projects.

At Siemens, I led the global digital transformation of fire safety systems. Earlier in my career, I conducted AI-driven research in requirements engineering during my PhD at the University of Zurich, collaborating closely with industry partners. I’ve also held product and engineering roles at Schneider Electric, Siemens DMS, and Swiss Post’s ASMIQ AG, blending deep technical insight with strategic product leadership. More...

LIFE

What brings joy and balance to my life is a mix of simple yet meaningful moments: spending time with my family, strumming my ukulele and singing (sometimes off-key, always with heart), nurturing plants in the garden, staying active through sports, and capturing the world through my lens. For over a decade, I’ve stayed committed to Insanity — the high-intensity workout program created by Shaun T, both a physical challenge and a powerful mental reset. I feel my best when I find myself at the top of a mountain — literally. And living in Switzerland was a good choice. The stillness, the views, the fresh air — it’s where I recharge and reflect. This section is where I share a glimpse into my personal world. You’ll find pieces of my artwork, including music videos, photography, and snapshots of the people and places that matter most.
