Sophie Küster

As a child, Sophie Küster wanted to be a ballerina or an astronaut; or both. Today, she holds diplomas in math and yodeling and is a test automation engineer at Cronn, a Bonn based IT company. After years of successfully hunting bugs, she also trains and leads other testers. Recently, she has also dared to look behind the curtain as a developer so she can cut out the middle person and introduce the bugs herself. Sometimes, she speaks at conferences. No stranger to the universe's gut punches, she is passionate about improving awareness and communication about mental health and self-care. When she's not busy testing or coding away at her computer, you can find her on a stand-up paddle board, in a tent (surprisingly often in the rain), or at a ballet barre. Sadly, never in a spaceship.
