Systems · People · Technology

I make complicated work easier to understand, organise and improve.

My experience spans software development, design, testing, operations, client experience and implementation. I am usually most useful where several of those things meet.

Where I tend to fit

I often work in the gaps between job descriptions.

Sometimes the problem is technical. Sometimes it is operational. Often it involves people, information and a system that made sense once but no longer quite works.

I like finding out what is actually happening, making the relationships visible and turning that understanding into something practical.

That might mean building or testing a digital product, improving a process, coordinating a program, untangling communication or helping different specialists understand one another.

The common thread is making complexity workable.
A little space to breathe.

What I do

Understand the problem. Improve the system. Follow it through.

Systems & operations

I work out how the moving parts relate and create structures people can actually use.

  • Processes and workflows
  • Program operations
  • Documentation
  • Coordination and follow-through

Digital products

I turn ideas and requirements into useful digital solutions, then check whether they work in practice.

  • Software development
  • Design and prototyping
  • Testing and quality
  • Implementation

People & experience

I pay attention to how a system feels from the other side, whether that person is a client, participant, user or colleague.

  • Client experience
  • Communication
  • Onboarding and support
  • Translating between disciplines

How I approach work

I want to know what the task is connected to.

I ask questions, trace dependencies and look for the reason a problem keeps returning. I can focus on details without losing sight of the wider system.

I am equally comfortable making something, improving how it works or coordinating the people needed to get it done. The job title matters less to me than whether the work is useful and the problem is interesting.

Software development

Turning ideas and operational needs into clear, workable digital solutions.

Design

Shaping intuitive experiences and coherent structures around the people using them.

Testing & quality

Finding gaps, checking assumptions and making sure the details work together.

Systems thinking

Seeing relationships, dependencies and the wider pattern behind a practical problem.

Client experience

Creating thoughtful journeys in which people feel informed, understood and cared for.

Translating complexity

Turning layered ideas into clear language, practical tools and workable next steps.

I have built MindTime.org and MindTimeDynamics.com, contributed to MindTime.com, and worked across client relationships, implementation, team coordination and online programs. The technology changes; the work of understanding the problem does not.

About

I have never fitted neatly into one discipline.

Hi, I’m Myrte. I move easily between technical, operational and people-focused work, and I often act as the connection between them.

I live on a hillside in Greece and work remotely in English and Dutch.

In their words

What it is like to work with me.

“Myrte is someone I have always been able to rely on. She works with great care, thinks deeply, and can translate complex ideas into clear and practical language. In our collaboration she brings structure, calm, and a sharp sense of what truly matters.”
John FureyFounder & CEO, MindTime

Possibilities

The shape of the work can vary.

I am open to a part-time role, a defined project, an ongoing collaboration or a position that combines several disciplines. I work remotely and am particularly interested in work where there is something real to understand or improve.

If the role does not fit a familiar label, that is not necessarily a problem.

Let’s talk

Have something complicated?

Tell me what you are working on, what is not working yet and what kind of help you think you need. We can see whether my particular mix of skills fits.
