🗓️ Two months into the new job and it’s been a whirlwind! I’m working on a project around Mesopotamian seals & sealings — expanding a big database 📚.

Right now I’m: 👥 Coordinating the Berlin team 🖥️ Setting up the project website 📋 And juggling many major tasks

Still commuting 🚆 for now, but things are starting to click into place. Feeling more settled every week!
