Meeting our employees : Saide

Saide is a consultant at deerdata – working as business analyst right at the intersection of business and IT. She refines demands and requirements, brainstorms and designs solutions, and drives them through to implementation. She’s also one of the drivers behind the deerdata brand itself – from designs to the content strategy of what you’re reading right now.
What made you choose deerdata?
“What stood out to me was the people. A team that genuinely enjoys working together – invested in each other and the company, while doing meaningful work. The personality came through on socials too. Personal, human, driven, transparent. That turned out to be exactly what it is.”
What’s your secret to success?
Finding the best ways to recharge – at work and at home. “I love solving problems, thinking of creative solutions and getting hands on. I’m an overthinker by nature – but I’ve learned that balance is everything. Some things need to be thought through carefully, others just need doing. I get energy from both. The best feeling is looking at a fresh stockpile of firewood, taking in a panoramic view after a long hike, or sitting down to a dinner I made from scratch – and knowing the hard work paid off.”
Anything else we should know?
Saide is a self-described “100 hobbies person” – she’s a mean firewood chopper, plays classical piano, and ran her own sticker, sticky notes and washi tape shop from home with her own designs. Good luck picking just one conversation topic.
