Meet Sven

Hallo! I’m Sven Schulte. I’m 29 years-old and from Germany. I studied finance in Germany and international business in the US. I’m the head of OEM sales at our family company.

What was the best part about this week at Bootcamp?

I liked the group work with my team on the final project. We made some good progress, and the sessions with our mentor were really helpful. The Amadeus Lunch & Learn session gave us some first-hand insights on the reality of big data at large corporations with many parallel IT systems and complex architecture.

What was the hardest part of this week at Bootcamp?

The statistics part in combination with more advanced programming is really tough for me as I didn’t have any programming experience beforehand and have worked sometime after joining the Bootcamp. The week is long and it takes effort to rehearse the material in the evening after coming home at 8 or 9. But it’s also great to look back at how much I have learned during the last weeks.

What do you like to do outside Bootcamp?

I really like to play tennis with my roommate during the weekends and go to the Friday morning Yoga class. After a whole week of sitting it makes you feel much better and energized. We also went out to grab some food and beers on Fridays or before a holiday in the amazing Madrid nightlife.

The other week I went to Tapapies, which is a big tapas festival in the nice neighborhood of Lavapiés. It was perfect weather, great food – in short: a really good time.
